Tel Aviv — American-Israeli dual national Keith Siegel was among three hostages released by militants in the war-torn Gaza Strip on Saturday, more than 15 months after they were taken captive by Hamas. Siegel was freed in Gaza City about two hours after Israelis Yarden Bibas and Ofer Calderon were released in the southern city of Khan Younis.

Hamas has agreed to release 33 Israeli hostages as part of a cease-fire agreement with Israel that has brought a pause to more than 15 months of fighting.On Saturday, the militant group freed the first American to be released in the latest truce.

Red Cross vehicles have arrived at a site in Gaza City where Hamas is set to release American Israeli hostage Keith Siegel, 65, as part of the fourth round of hostage releases in its cease-fire deal with Israel.
