Israeli hostage Edan Alexander, who had been held captive by Hamas in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, was released on Monday after successful negotiations between the U.S. and the terrorist organization, the IDF said.

Hamas on Monday released Edan Alexander, the last known living American hostage in Gaza after 18 months in captivity.

Alexander, believed to be the last living captive with US nationality in Gaza, was taken by Hamas during the 7 October attacks.
