The third exchange of captives-for-prisoners is underway – on the third day of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
13 Israeli captives have been handed over by Hamas to the Red Cross, and are now in Israeli territory according to its army.
The handover happened in Gaza City in Northern Gaza – which has been devastated by the war.
Hamas has also released three Thai citizens and one dual Russian-Israeli citizen.
The International Red Cross has confirmed they have all been transferred out of Gaza.
In exchange, Israel has just released 39 Palestinian prisoners.
