Quick Summary:

TEL AVIV, Israel—Four female Israeli soldiers who were taken in the attack that sparked the war in Gaza returned to Israel on Saturday after Hamas militants paraded them before a crowd of thousands in Gaza City and handed them over to the Red Cross.

Twenty-six other hostages should be released in the ceasefire’s six-week first phase, along with hundreds more Palestinian prisoners.
