Hamas’s al-Qassam Brigades has released two captives from Gaza after Qatari and Egyptian mediation, spokesman Abu Obaida has said.

The two captives are Nurit Yitzhak and Yocheved Levschitz, a statement on al-QassamBrigades’ telegram said.

These are the same two captives that the group tried to release since Friday, but Israel had refused to take them, he said.

“We decided to release them for humanitarian and medical reasons.”
