John Yang:
Good evening, I'm John Yang. Two Americans, including a four-year-old girl were among the 17 hostages Hamas released today for the third exchange for Palestinians in Israeli prisons. 14 Israelis and a Russian citizen were also among those released in return for 39 Palestinian prisoners.
Meanwhile, Hamas said four of its senior militants have been killed in the war so far, including the commander for Northern Gaza. He's the highest ranking known casualty. And late today Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seemed to open the door to the possibility of more pauses and fighting if Hamas releases more hostages. That could mean more reunions for both Israelis and Palestinians.
