Israeli authorities have said a second group of hostages are due to be freed by Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners on Saturday in a deal brokered by Qatar. It’s the second day of a four-day pause in fighting between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Friday saw the release of 24 hostages – they included 13 Israelis, 10 Thais and one Filipino national. 39 Palestinian prisoners were released as part of the deal. The biggest humanitarian convoy since the start of the war entered Gaza on Friday, carrying fuel, food and medical supplies.
