Israeli hostage Edan Alexander, who had been held captive by Hamas in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, was released on Monday after successful negotiations between the U.S. and the terrorist organization, the IDF said.

Alexander, believed to be the last living captive with US nationality in Gaza, was taken by Hamas during the 7 October attacks.

The American dual national Edan Alexander has been handed over by Hamas more than 19 months after he was taken hostage.
