The Al Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, said on its Telegram account on Tuesday it handed over 'some civilian detainees' as part of an exchange deal with Israel.
Hamas started handing over more Israeli hostages on Tuesday to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), a Palestinian official said, on the fifth day of an extended six-day truce in the Gaza war.
Al Jazeera TV broadcast footage of the handover process saying that members of both Hamas's armed wing as well as the Islamic Jihad were present at the scene.
