Sri Lanka, Oct. 13 -- Israel has received the first seven captives released by Hamas and handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Gaza.

Thirteen more living captives are due to be released today.

Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank wait for the release of nearly 2,000 people from Israeli jails as part of the agreement.

US President Donald Trump has declared the war in Gaza over as he flew to the Middle East, where he will address the Israeli Knesset and co-chair a summit in Egypt on the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
