The three figures delivered on Saturday are 36 years old, Argentina-Israela Horn, 46, Russia-Israel Alexander Tripa, 29 years old.
In return, 369 Palestinians in Israel were released.
Until now, 19 people and 1,000 Palestinian prisoners were liberated as part of the Gaza Armistice, which began on January 19, 2025.
At the end of the first six weeks of the contract, 33 hostages and 1,900 prisoners are expected to be liberated.
In Saturday and last month, the sixth swap was transferred from the Cannes of the Southern Gaza Strip.
The men surrounded by armed Hamas armed forces were taken to the Red Cross by the Palestinians.
They did not seem to growl as they were liberated a week ago. Their appearance caused anger from Israel elsewhere.
The three men were aired by a military helicopter to the hospital in central Israel, undergoing medical tests and reunited with relatives.
Israeli Israeli, Israeli, posted on social media, said that hostages were forced to “endure a mean and cynical consciousness.”
In social media posts, the Secretary of Defense Israel said that Israel continued to “guarantee all hostages soon to return to Israel.”
The majority of the liberated Palestinians were taken to Gaza, but some were taken to Westbank. In both regions, crowds gathered to welcome all prisoners.
Palestinian Red Crescent Society said five out of five of the five released from Westbank poet Ramallah were transferred to the BBC.
Mohammad Faqih, an official of Palestinian Red Crescent Society, said, “They all have chronic diseases.”
36 Palestinians who are sentenced to life are expected to be deported to Egypt.
ReutersEarlier this week, Hamas threatened to delay the release of hostages after accusing Israel for violating the conditions of the agreement.
Israel, supported by US President Donald Trump, said that “intense” fights would be resumed unless hostages were transferred.
The latest release means that under the ceasefire, Hamas must be free for another 14.
But Israel says eight people are dead. In other words, six living Israelites are still expected to be returned in the first stage.
As part of the previous transaction between Israel and Hamas, a total of 141 hostages were liberated, including 81 Israel and 24 foreigners.
When Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, about 1,200 people died and 251 returned to hostages.
This resulted in a huge Israeli military offensive that killed more than 48,000 Palestinians in Gaza, the Ministry of Health, Hamas-Run Health.
