After fears of ceasefire collapse in Gaza, Hamas is set to release three more hostages on Saturday (Feb 15.) in the sixth such prisoner swap between the nations. Israel will release over 300 Palestinian prisoners in return of the three hostages. 21 hostages and 730 Palestinian prisoners have been freed during the first phase of the truce, which neared a collapse after Hamas stopped hostage release and accused Israel of not allowing enough shelters, medical supplies and equipment for clearing rubble. Israel also threatened to resume war, backed by the US if hostages were not released.
