CNN’s Ward: Ten More Israeli Hostages Have Just Been Freed, Hamas ‘Hope to Extend the Truce’

EXCERPT:

WARD: "So, Wolf, first, on those hostages, as you mentioned, 10 Israeli hostages have now been freed. We expect to see live pictures any moment now of them now at the Hatzerim Airbase. From there, they will be flown or driven to various hospitals depending on their condition. We understand the youngest age, or I should say the age of the youngest hostage to be released today is 13 years old. The oldest hostage, 54 years old. And as you mentioned, that dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, Liat Beinin, is among those hostages released. This comes along with the release of four Thai nationals, and earlier, as a separate deal that was brokered by the Russian government, two Israeli-Russian dual nationals. So, in total, 16 hostages released today, and all eyes now on the question of whether this truce will be extended or whether it will expire at midnight Eastern Time, 7:00 A.M. here in Israel. Hamas has said that they very much hope to extend the truce.”
