Fourteen more Israeli hostages have been released by Hamas after being held for almost seven weeks.

They include four-year-old Abigail, a dual Israeli-American national, whose parents were reportedly killed in the 7 October attacks.

US President Joe Biden said on the day she was released that her father was “gunned down while using his body to shield little Abigail”, who then ran to a neighbour’s house where she was taken hostage alongside another family.

Her handover on Sunday coincides with the release of 39 prisoners by Israel after a deal that has paused fighting between the two sides.

It comes after a further 13 Israelis were released on Friday and Saturday as part of the same deal, with 39 Palestinian prisoners being returned to the West Bank on the same days.

A further 17 Thai nationals and one Filipino hostage have also been released by Hamas.

The names of the Israeli hostages – who were among some 240 people kidnapped during the deadly Hamas attack – released on Sunday are:
