Hamas delays second release of hostages until Israel lets aid into northern Gaza

[Collection]Hamas' military wing announced on Saturday the postponement of the second group of hostages' handover, citing Israel's non-compliance with the truce agreement terms. The entry of humanitarian aid into northern Gaza and the criteria for prisoner release were the contested issues, as stated by the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades. The group of hostages, captured during Hamas attacks on southern Israel on October 7, was scheduled to be released on the second day of a four-day truce, with a three-to-one ratio exchange of Palestinian prisoners.
