Six More Hostages Released By Hamas, Confirms Israel

Six Israeli hostages released in the Gaza Strip returned to Israel late Thursday, the Israeli prime minister's office said, hours before a truce extension was due to expire.

The release of the six -- who mediator Qatar said included Uruguayan, Mexican and Russian dual nationals -- came after two women, including a French-Israeli dual national, were released earlier in the day.
