Two more hostages have been released from Hamas custody following Qatari and Egyptian mediation, according to two Israeli officials and two other sources briefed on the matter.
Hamas also said it released two hostages, according to a statement from Hamas spokesperson Abu Obaida.
“[We] released the two detainees [ ] bearing in mind that the enemy has refused since last Friday to receive them,” Abu Obaida said. “We have decided to release them for compelling humanitarian and health reasons.”
One source briefed on the matter said the hostages were Israeli citizens. One of the sources said they were released to the Red Cross.
One of the Israeli officials said they were not in Israel yet. The other Israeli official said both hostages were women.
CNN reached out to the Israeli military, which declined to comment on the statement. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office also said they have no comment.
On Sunday, Israel said it would not respond to the Hamas claim they were "prepared" to release two more hostages, characterizing it as “lying propaganda.”
On Friday, Hamas
released two American hostages, Judith Tai Raanan and Natalie Raanan.
