Hamas handed over three Israeli hostages Saturday, the latest in a series of exchanges agreed to in a deal aimed at ending the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group.

Israeli-American Keith Siegel, 65, was among those released, along with French-Israeli Ofer Kalderon, 54, and Yarden Bibas, 35.

Originally from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Siegel was taken hostage from Kibbutz Kfar Aza along with his wife, Aviva Siegel. Aviva Siegel was released during a brief ceasefire in November 2023.

Israel had agreed to release 90 prisoners on Saturday, the fourth such exchange. But a Palestinian advocacy group said that number had been updated to 183, expected to be freed later in the day.
