Eight hostages held by Hamas militants are returned to Israel as Palestinian prisoner releases proceed — but can the Gaza cease-fire hold?

A Palestinian terrorist stabbed an Israeli in broad daylight in Tel Aviv on Saturday, in a terrorist attack that concluded with the terrorist's elimination by an armed citizen. Police, who investigate the incident as a terrorist attack, said that the terrorist was a 19-year-old Palestinian from the West Bank city of Tulkarem.

Steve Witkoff, the U.S.’s new Middle East envoy, has joined Israelis in Tel Aviv who have gathered to watch the hostage releases in what has become known as “Hostage Square,” according to images broadcast on Israeli television.

Four people have been wounded in a stabbing attack in Tel Aviv in which the attacker was killed, Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom said on Wednesday.

Three Israelis and five Thai nationals were freed earlier in what PM Benjamin Netanyahu called "shocking scenes".

Hamas released eight hostages on Thursday — five Thai farm workers and three dual German-Israeli nationals — in exchange for 110 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
