First seven hostages are being released in the first stage of prisoners swap between the Palestinians and Israel, said the Times of Israel, quoting the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Remaining 13 living hostages to be released at 10am, added the newspaper.
US President Donald Trump declared on Sunday that the war in Gaza was “over,” and appeared confident that the ceasefire and hostage release deal he arranged would hold, as he headed to Israel aboard Air Force One to celebrate the release of the hostages.
