Hamas has released two US hostages who were kidnapped in its attack on southern Israel on October 7, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says.
Mother and daughter Judith and Natalie Raanan, who were taken from Nahal Oz kibbutz, near the Gaza border, were on their way to a military base in central Israel, a statement from Mr Netanyahu’s office said.
Media reports in the United States said they were from Evanston, a suburb of Chicago.
They were the first hostages to be freed since Hamas gunmen burst into Israel nearly two weeks ago, killing 1,400 people, mainly civilians, and taking about 200 hostages.
