Israel says Alexander Troufanov, Yair Horn and Sagui Dekel-Chen - who were taken in the 7 October attacks - are now back in Israel.

Three more Israelis held captive in the Gaza Strip are on the verge of being freed by Hamas-led militants as part of a shaky ceasefire deal that requires Israel to release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

In return, Israel is expected to free 90 Palestinian prisoners. The exchange would extend the fragile cease-fire that appeared on the brink of collapse earlier this week.
