Eight hostages—three Israelis and five Thais—were freed from Hamas captivity in Gaza on Thursday, 482 days after being taken during the Oct. 7 massacre.
Israeli soldier Agam Berger, 20, abducted from an IDF field observers’ base in Nahal Oz, was handed over to the Red Cross in northern Gaza earlier in the day.
Later, in Khan Yunis, Israeli civilians Arbel Yehud, 29, and Gadi Mozes, 80, were also released to Red Cross representatives.
