Qatar confirms 24 hostages — 13 Israeli, 10 Thai and 1 Filipino — received by Red Cross.

Families head to Israeli hospitals to be reunited with 13 children and women freed by Hamas after 49 days. Israel prepares to release 39 terror convicts.
The 13 Israeli hostages are in the hands of Israeli authorities and are are en route to the Kerem Shalom crossing through which they will enter Israel, officials say.
While the Kerem Shalom gate separates Israel from Gaza, there is also a side gate separating Egypt and Israel, which the hostages will be crossing through shortly.
Qatar foreign ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari announces that 39 Palestinian women and minors imprisoned by Israel have been released in line with Israel’s commitments to the truce.
We also confirm the release of 39 women and children detained in Israeli prisons in implementation of the commitments of the first day of the agreement.
Qatar Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari tweets, “We confirm that the Red Cross has received 24 civilians detained in the Gaza Strip, including a number of civilian women and children within the framework of the humanitarian truce agreement.
“A number of Thai citizens have also been released outside the framework of the truce agreement and they are currently on their way out of the Strip with the Red Cross,” he adds.
Earlier statements said there would be 13 Israeli and 12 Thai hostages released today.
But Ansari says 13 Israeli hostages were released — some of whom are dual citizens along with 10 Thai citizens and one Filipino citizen.
The Red Cross issues its own statement saying, “We are relieved to confirm the safe release of 24 hostages.”
“We have facilitated this release by transporting them from Gaza to the Rafah border, marking the real-life impact of our role as a neutral intermediary between the parties,” it adds.
