Hamas parades 3 Israeli hostages ahead of release in Gaza

Hamas on Saturday paraded three Israel hostages before a crowd of hundreds in the Gaza Strip ahead of their release.

The three male civilians are to be freed Saturday in exchange for dozens of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel as part of a



ceasefire in Gaza that has paused the war in the Gaza Strip.

The hostages were led up onto a stage and a masked Hamas fighter held a microphone as each was made to give a statement before the crowd. Hostages did not speak during previous releases.
