Israel has said it would extend the cease-fire by one day for every 10 additional hostages released. But Israel also says it remains committed to crushing Hamas' military capabilities and ending its 16-year rule over Gaza. Sixty-two hostages have been released, one was freed by Israeli forces, and two were found dead inside Gaza. In turn, Israel released 39 Palestinian prisoners. A fourth exchange is expected on Monday, for a total of 50 Israeli hostages and 150 Palestinian prisoners as agreed upon in the cease-fire deal.
