Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander, 21, was released by Hamas in what they called a "good faith" gesture. The Israeli military confirmed his handover to the Red Cross and subsequent return to Israeli territory.
What This Means: This development signals a potential de-escalation in tensions between Israel and Hamas, possibly paving the way for further negotiations or prisoner exchanges. It also highlights international involvement (e.g., Red Cross) in mediating such conflicts.
