Fragile Truce Offers Israelis Hope For Return Of More Hostages

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL - NOVEMBER 26: A helicopter arrives with Israeli hostages released earlier by Hamas at Schneider medical centre on the third day of the temporary truce, on November 26, 2023 in Petah Tivka, Israel. A temporary truce between Israel and Hamas began on Friday, followed by the return of some Hamas-held hostages as well as the release of Palestinian prisoners. If the truce holds, around 50 Israeli hostages are to be released, among the approximate 240 that Israeli authorities say Hamas took captive during its Oct. 7 attack. (Photo by Alexi J.
