Israel and Hamas agree on a new exchange, leaving a fragile ceasefire intact

People line the street to watch the funeral procession carrying the caskets of Shiri Bibas, Kfir Bibas and Ariel Bibas with family in minibuses pass by on Feb. 26, 2025 in Rishon LeZion, Israel.

The bodies of four Israeli hostages are to be returned late Wednesday and more than 600 Palestinian prisoners and detainees freed during the last week of the current Gaza ceasefire deal.
