Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold security consultations tonight “based on the goal of returning all of our hostages — the living and the dead,” a government source says.
With the release of the six hostages today, four hostages remain to be returned under the first phase of the ceasefire deal: Shlomo Mantzur, Itzik Elgarat, Ohad Yahalomi and Tsahi Idan. However, Hamas has indicated that the hostages returning today are the last ones in the current phase who are alive.
