Hamas’s al Qassam Brigades has released two captives from Gaza after Qatari and Egyptian mediation, spokesman Abu Obaida says.
The two captives are Nurit Yitzhak and Yocheved Lifshitz, al Qassam Brigades said in a statement on Telegram.
These are the same two captives that the group tried to release on Friday, but Israel had refused to take them, Abu Obaida said.
“We decided to release them for humanitarian and medical reasons.”
