A senior Hamas official said “several” Russian hostages would be released Wednesday from the Gaza Strip, with the fighting paused by a humanitarian truce.

The agreement only covers women and children, and Hamas official Mussa Abu Marzuq posted on X, formerly Twitter, that only one man, a Russian-Israeli dual citizen, had been freed so far. “Today, several others will be released separately from the truce agreement in appreciation for the stance of President Putin,” he wrote.
