Two more hostages have been released from Hamas custody in Gaza, officials said Monday.
Their spouses — Cooper's 85-year-old husband, Amiram, and Lifshitz's 83-year-old husband, Oded — were kidnapped with them and are still being held by Hamas, according to Israeli officials.
Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says soldiers are conducting training exercises ahead of a potential ground incursion into Gaza.
It all comes as the humanitarian situation in Gaza worsens further.
Though some aid has made its way across the border, relief groups are warning it's not enough.
