In a statement posted to Telegram, the Al-Qassam Brigades identified the hostages released as 85-year-old Yocheved Lifshitz and Nurit Itzhak.
The pair were reportedly released in negotiations mediated by Qatar, according to reports from Fox News and CNN.
“Our role as a neutral intermediary makes this work possible & we are ready to facilitate any future release. We hope that they will soon be back with their loved ones,” the ICRC added. Yocheved, who was kidnapped along with her husband Oded, was described as an advocate for the Palestinian people in a Facebook post by her grandson, Daniel.
