Fourteen more Israeli hostages have been released by Hamas after being held for almost seven weeks.

They include four-year-old Abigail, a dual Israeli-American national, whose parents were reportedly killed in the 7 October attacks.

US President Joe Biden said on the day she was released that her father was “gunned down while using his body to shield little Abigail”, who then ran to a neighbour’s house where she was taken hostage alongside another family.
