Fragile Truce Offers Israelis Hope For Return Of More Hostages

SDEROT, ISRAEL - NOVEMBER 27: Members of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) drive by a staging area near the border of Gaza as a four day cease fire between Israel and members of Hamas holds for the release of prisoners and hostages on November 27, 2023 outside of the city of Sderot, Israel. A temporary truce between Israel and Hamas began on Friday, followed by the return of some Hamas-held hostages as well as the release of Palestinian prisoners. If the truce holds, around 50 Israeli hostages are to be released, among the approximate 240 that Israeli authorities say Hamas took captive during its Oct. 7 attack.
