STORYLINE:

The Palestinian Islamic Hamas movement on Saturday released the second batch of Israeli hostages.

The four women, Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa and Naama Levy were handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Gaza, Hamas said in a press statement.

The four Israeli army observers aged 19-20 were abducted by Hamas from the Israeli army's surveillance base at Nahal Oz on Oct. 7, 2023, near the Gaza Strip border.

The four Israeli hostages were transferred to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israel Security Agency (ISA) on Saturday and crossed the border into Israel, the IDF and the ISA said in a joint statement.

The hostage release is part of the second phase of a prisoner-hostage exchange between Hamas and Israel, implemented under the initial terms of a ceasefire agreement.

The first stage of the six-week ceasefire took effect on Jan. 19.

The ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel was reached after 15 months of intense fighting, as a result of negotiations mediated by Egypt, Qatar and the United States.
