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.

Daniel Lifshitz archive/Handout via REUTERS Acquire Licensing RightsOct 23 (Reuters) - Yocheved Lifshitz, an Israeli grandmother released by Hamas militants on Monday, is a peace activist who together with her husband helped sick Palestinians in Gaza get to hospital for years, her grandson told Reuters. Lifshitz and her 83-year old husband, Oded, were kidnapped from their home at the Nir Oz kibbutz, close to the border with Gaza in southern Israel, the Israeli prime minister's office said late on Monday. "They are human rights activists, peace activists for all their life," grandson Daniel Lifshitz told Reuters in Tel Aviv before the release was confirmed. Before entering the van, she reaches her hand out to the man and tells him "salam," Arabic for peace. At least 5,087 Palestinians have been killed in two weeks of Israeli strikes, including 2,055 children, the Hamas-run health ministry said.
