The Israeli military has said that Hamas has released the sixth and final hostage in the latest exchange on Saturday.
The military also confirmed that the released hostage has arrived in Israel.
The hostage was not immediately identified but is expected to be Hisham Al-Sayed, 36, a Bedouin Israeli with a history of mental health illness.
According to report, he crossed on his own into Gaza in 2015 and has been held since.
DAILY POST reports that five of the hostages were released earlier Saturday, in staged ceremonies that both Israel and the Red Cross have condemned in the past.
The last one was released separately on Saturday afternoon without a ceremony.
A total of 25 Israeli hostages were released in the first stage of the ceasefire.
US President Donald Trump also confirmed the latest development when he posted on his Truth Social on Saturday.
Trump simply wrote: “SIXTH HOSTAGE HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED BY HAMAS!”
