Here’s more via NY Post:
More hostages being held by Hamas have been released to the Red Cross as part of the latest round of an extended truce agreement between the terrorist group and Israel.
The Red Cross is processing the hostages, estimated at 10, on Tuesday morning, with the IDF set to transfer the group to Israel, according to the local N12 News outlet.
The release comes after Qatari officials, who are leading the negotiations between Israel and Hamas, said that 20 hostages would be released in the span of 48 hours.
Hamas has released a total of 69 hostages since the temporary truce took effect Friday.
This would bring the total to 79 hostages and 89 total if Hamas releases 10 more tomorrow. It’s not nearly enough but as I said before, Hamas is never going to release them all.
[UPDATE]
🔴The fifth group of Israeli hostages to be released today consists of 9 women and 1 teenage girl

[UPDATE2]
My team is tracking every hostage who's been released and we are taking their photos and moving them to the opposite side of our office.
It's truly impotent and cowardly that Hamas has taken even babies as hostages.

[UPDATE3]
150+ Palestinian prisoners vs 89 hostages? How is that fair???
Israel frees 150 Palestinian prisoners under truce, with more to come in the 2-day extension of the ceasefire
