First three hostages released amid Israel-Hamas ceasefire

The three hostages are 24-year-old Romi Gonen, 28-year-old Emily Damari and 31-year-old Doron Steinbrecher.

All three were kidnapped. 

Early Monday morning and in response — Israel released around 90 Palestinian prisoners.

The ceasefire raises hopes for an end to the devastating 15-month war.
