Second group of 13 hostages has been handed over to the Red Cross - public radio
A second group of 13 Israeli hostages have been released by Hamas to the Red Cross, according to Israeli public radio.

Hamas has confirmed that this means that all of the living Israeli hostages have now been released.

As a reminder, as per the terms of the ceasefire agreement, 20 living hostages were due to be handed over this morning, with the bodies of up to 28 also released.

Those that are dead may take longer; their burial places may themselves have been buried by rubble.
