A temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip took effect from 24 November 2023 to 30 November 2023, during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.
Qatar mediated the two groups. Israeli soldiers and Hamas militants agreed on Qatar’s initial agreement for a four-day break in fighting during which 50 Israeli hostages held in Gaza 150 Palestinian Muslim prisoners in Israel were to be released and more humanitarian aid will be allowed to enter the Gazan borders. By this agreement, it opens for the possibilities of additional releasing of Hamas’ hostages.
It was reported on 28 November that about 180 prisoners, mostly women and teenagers, were released after having been chosen from a list of 300 detained Palestinians.
Few of the released hostages have spoken of their experiences, but those who have recounted being kept in crowded spaces with little electricity, no mattresses, and sparse food available, with varying amounts distributed among the hostages; the family of one released hostage additionally claimed he had been forced to watch “horror videos” of the initial attacks.
