What we're covering

• Hamas has released two of three Israeli hostages expected to be freed on Saturday, in the fourth round of releases since a Gaza ceasefire and hostage agreement was reached last month.

• The trio includes an American dual national and the father of the youngest hostages taken from Israel on October 7, 2023.

• Hamas has said it expects Israel to release 183 Palestinian prisoners on Saturday. Eighteen of the prisoners are serving life sentences, while 111 were arrested in Gaza after October 7, according to the Hamas Prisoners Media Office.

• The crucial Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt is also expected to open on Saturday. However, Israel has warned that will not go ahead if there is a repeat of the chaos that surrounded the release of seven hostages on Thursday.

• A dramatic uptick in humanitarian relief should now be entering Gaza, where living conditions for most people remain dire. The deal stipulated the number of aid trucks entering the enclave will increase to 600 per day.
