Three Israeli Hostages Freed in Major Prisoner Swap Deal

In a dramatic breakthrough amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, three Israeli hostages have been released today. In return, Israel freed 183 Palestinian prisoners in a high-stakes exchange, marking a significant step in delicate humanitarian talks.
