Hamas said on Saturday that its armed wing had handed over 13 Israeli hostages and seven foreign nationals to the International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza.
The transfer - which had been delayed after Hamas accused Israel of violating the truce agreement - took place "in the context of the humanitarian pause", the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades said in a statement.
The hostages were travelling to the Rafah crossing, at Egypt's shared border with the enclave, a Qatari source told Reuters.
