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 Israel Defense Forces said.

Edan Alexander's release prompts hope that this is a "window of opportunity" to secure the release of remaining 58 hostages amid concerns over Israeli military operations.
