Hamas-led militants released three male Israeli hostages Saturday and Israeli forces freed hundreds of prisoners in return, in the latest indication that a fragile ceasefire that had teetered in recent days is holding.

An American citizen is among the freed hostages returned to Israel from Gaza; more than 360 Palestinian prisoners released in exchange.

Hamas has released three more hostages as its fragile ceasefire agreement with Israel continues to hold, but it did not adhere to the deadline imposed by President Donald Trump demanding all hostages be released by Saturday.
