8 hostages released and handed over to Red Cross

The Houthis had signaled Friday night they planned a release of prisoners, part of their efforts to ease tensions after the ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army says the Red Cross has confirmed that it has seven hostages — two Israelis and five Thai nationals. Their release is part of a ceasefire that began Jan. 19. It is aimed at winding down the deadliest and most destructive war ever fought between Israel and the Hamas militant group.
The five hostages were among the 31 Thai agricultural workers who were captured by Hamas from four farms close to the Gaza border. Earlier, 23 hostages were released and two, Sudthisak Rinthalak and Sonthaya Oakkharasri, were confirmed dead in May of last year.
The increasingly theatrical and threatening events have angered Israel and put a cease-fire deal at risk.
