Eleven Israelis and 33 Palestinians freed as truce extended

Another 11 Israeli hostages including three-year-old twins have been freed by Hamas tonight, Israel says – bringing the total number of released hostages to more than 50

In exchange, 33 Palestinians were released from Israeli prisons – reportedly including 30 children and three women

Just hours before the four-day truce was due to expire, Qatar said Israel and Hamas have agreed to a two-day extension

Over the next two days, Hamas has committed to releasing another 20 women and children, US national security spokesman John Kirby says

Further lorry-loads of humanitarian supplies entered the Gaza Strip on Monday with food, fuel and medicines being distributed by aid organisations

Hamas’s attacks on 7 October killed 1,200 people, with about 240 taken hostage

Since then, Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry says more than 14,500 people have been killed in Israel’s retaliatory campaign. (BBC)
