In a second phase, Hamas could release dozens more women, children and elderly people in return for Israel extending the ceasefire by several more days.

An Israeli official said Israel is ready to give another day of pause for every 10 hostages Hamas releases.
"We think Hamas can get 70-80 hostages. For all we are concerned it needs to bring hostages from the Islamic Jihad and other factions that hold hostages," the Israeli official said, referring to groups that are also holding hostages.
