A wounded festival-goer is among the latest hostages released from Gaza - having appeared in a video by Hamas after its 7 October attack on Israel.

Israeli-French tattoo artist Mia Schem, 21, was freed with another woman, followed later by six others.

The seven-day truce has so far seen 105 people released from Gaza. Israel is expected to release another 30 Palestinians prisoners on Thursday.
