An American-Israeli soldier, Edan Alexander, held captive in Gaza for 19 months, is expected to be released by Hamas as a goodwill gesture toward the U.S. Alexander was captured during a 2023 cross-border attack. His release comes amidst a deepening humanitarian crisis and increasing Israeli military actions. Israel says 59 hostages remain, with approximately 24 still alive.
