A poster with photos of hostages Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari, who Hamas said it would release Sunday as the first steps in a cease-fire deal with Israel. A total of 33 Israeli hostages, most of whom were taken captive by Hamas and allied groups on Oct. 7, 2023, were to be released in the first phase of the cease-fire, in exchange for 1,890 Palestinian prisoners. Of the 251 hostages taken on Oct. 7, 94 are still held in Gaza, with 60 assumed to be living and 34 dead.
