JERUSALEM — Israel says a Hamas list shows that eight of the 33 hostages to be released in the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire are dead. Government spokesman David Mencer told journalists Monday that Hamas said the other 25 are alive. Israel overnight said it had received a list of information on the status of the hostages from Hamas.

Four female Israeli soldiers were reunited with their families on Saturday while jubilant crowds in the West Bank and Gaza celebrated the release of 200 Palestinian prisoners in the second swap under the Gaza ceasefire deal.
