LIVE UPDATES: IDF Says Will Resume Military Op in Gaza Strip Immediately After Pause

"Another 200 trucks were dispatched from Nitzana. Of them 187 entered Gaza by 7:00 pm local time. In addition, 129,000 liters of fuel crossed into Gaza. None of these deliveries would have been possible without the Palestinian and Egyptian Red Crescent Societies. The longer the pause lasts, the more aid humanitarian agencies will be able to send in and across Gaza," the UN said.

"Red Cross representatives have just transferred the hostages to Egypt. According to the information that was received by the IDF, 17 hostages were released, including 13 Israeli hostages and 4 Thai hostages. The released hostages' convoy is currently making its way through Egypt to the meeting point at Kerem Shalom," IDF said on Telegram.

“As part of the humanitarian truce, Al Qassam Brigades handed over 13 detained Israelis and 7 foreign citizens to the Red Cross,” according to a statement in the movement’s Telegram channel.

"Tonight, our efforts [to release hostages] continue, and we will inform families and the public when something happens. We have to be patient, there is significant progress," Hagari told a briefing.

The Palestinian movement Hamas said that it will continue to fulfill the prisoner swap deal after efforts by Egypt and Watar that conveyed Israel's assurances on upholding the deal's provisions.

Earlier in the day, the military wing of Hamas, Al Qassam Brigades, announced a delay in the release of the second group of Israeli hostages until Israel fulfills the terms of a prisoner exchange deal. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Lior Ben Dor said later that his country had not violated any of the provisions of the deal.

"Israel has not violated any of the provisions of the truce deal in the Gaza Strip," Ben Dor told Sky News Arabia.

"The Al Qassam Brigades decided to postpone the release of the second group of prisoners until occupants fulfill the terms of the agreement regarding the entry of humanitarian aid trucks into the northern Gaza Strip and comply with the agreed standards for the release of prisoners," the movement said on Telegram.

The source told the broadcaster that all statements by Hamas about Israel's alleged violation of the agreement were false.

"This attack on peacekeepers, dedicated to reducing tensions & restoring stability in south Lebanon, is deeply troubling. We condemn this act & underscore the parties' responsibility to safeguard peacekeepers, preventing unnecessary risks to those striving to establish stability," UNIFIL added in a follow-up post.

Egyptian authorities currently hold talks on extending the ceasefire for several more days to release both hostages in the Gaza Strip and Palestinian detainees from Israeli prisons.

The source was quoted as saying that "part of the Qatari mission arrived for a visit aimed at coordinating between the parties at home and their counterparts in Doha to ensure that the deal continues to progress smoothly and to discuss more details about the ongoing deal."

The total weight of humanitarian aid delivered by the Russian ministry of emergency situations to the Gaza Strip to date is exceeding 285 tonnes.

Additionally, the Hamas spokesman accused Israel of not adhering to the "prisoner release standards" agreed upon through mediators.
