After nearly seven weeks in captivity, 24 hostages seized by Hamas in its deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel are now free after crossing into Egypt. In exchange, Israel released 39 Palestinians hours later at the city of Ramallah in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

~~Plus we can add "10 Thai citizens and a Filipino citizen," who are not part of the count.~~

Edit, update sounds like they were part of the count. The text is still

10 Thai citizens and a Filipino citizen," were among those released Friday and were not a part of the truce agreement.

But earlier in the article it says they are part of the count.

Noted. Either I didn't read it properly or the article has been updated. Thanks for the correction.
