Israel said last night it received the list of a third group of hostages set for release.

The deal between Israel and Hamas, brokered by Qatar, mandates the release of Palestinian prisoners to hostages at a ratio of three to one. More Palestinian prisoners are expected to be released today.

The timings of the exchange have not been released but we'll be following the details closely.

Hello and welcome back as we restart our live coverage.

The truce between Israel and Hamas is in its third day and more Israeli hostages are expected to be released today.

There were a few anxious hours last night when the released of the second group of hostages was delayed.

Eventually another 13 Israelis who had been taken hostage during the attacks on 7 October were freed. They are all women, teenagers and young children.

Four Thai nationals were also released as part of a separate deal between Hamas and the Egyptian government.

39 Palestinian prisoners were also freed from Israeli jails.

Read more about what happened here.

We are shortly going to be pausing our coverage of the Israel and Gaza conflict. But, before we do here is a quick recap of the key points from the last few hours:

• Israel's military says 13 Israelis, including six women and seven children, held hostage in Gaza who were earlier handed to the Red Cross on Saturday evening are now in Israel
• The release was delayed by several hours after Hamas accused Israel of breaching its part of the four-day truce agreement - an accusation Israel denied
• The former hostages are being accompanied by special forces and will undergo initial medical assessments and will then be reunited with their families
• Four Thai nationals have also been released
• Saturday was the second day captives were freed under the deal which has been brokered by Qatar
• Israeli authorities say 195 hostages are still being held in Gaza
• As part of the hostage deal, Israel confirmed it has released a further 39 Palestinian prisoners
• Authorities say they were freed from three different Israeli jails, adding all of them were either women or minors aged 18 or under
• The 39 are being returned to their homes in East Jerusalem or the occupied West Bank

Palestinian prisoner Nourhan Awad, 23, ran into the arms of her family in Qalandia, West Bank, when she was freed.

Awad was arrested in 2015 and shot with three bullets as she was suspected of being part of a stabbing operation in Jerusalem.

She was sentenced to 10 years in jail, of which she served eight years.

Awad refused to go home last night before visiting the grave of her cousin who was shot dead by an Israeli soldier on the day Awad was arrested.

Thirty-nine Palestinian prisoners have been released from Israeli prisons as part of the hostage deal with Hamas.

Crowds came out to celebrate in the West Bank town of Beitunia as a bus carrying some prisoners drove through the streets. Some were carrying the green flags of Hamas.

On the second day of the hostage deal, 13 Israeli hostages and four Thai nationals were also released.

Israa Jaabis is one of the Palestinian women freed on Saturday as part of a swap deal between Hamas and Israel.

She had been imprisoned in Israel since 2015 after her car broke down on a highway 1.5km (0.9 miles) from a checkpoint in the West Bank.

The reason for the breakdown is disputed. Israelis said back then it was an attempted car bombing but Arab media said the engine of her car failed causing a fire.

Jaabis sustained fire injuries in the accident and her face was badly burnt.

She was sentenced to 11 years in jail, of which she spent eight years before she was released.

Last year, Jaabis filed a request with the Israel Prisons Service for a nose job to repair the damage to her face, and was rejected.

Jaabis, 38, hugged her son Mua’tassim, now 15, whom she left when he was just eight years old.

The joy of the hostages' release is tempered by the reality many of them face with relatives killed or still held hostage.

The Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, Fleur Hassan-Nahoum tweeted: “The sick psychological terror of Hamas: after hours of delay, a girl released without her mother, a sister released without her brother who is 18 years old and fits the criteria, and two children whose mother was murdered released without their father, their only family.”

The released hostages listed above are 13-year-old Hila Rotem Shoshani, whose mother Raya has not been released. Maya Regev’s brother Itai is still a hostage. 16-year-old Noam and 13-year-old Alma Or have been freed but their father Dror is still a hostage and their mother Yonat was murdered.

Others are also affected.

Adi Shoham and her children Naveh and Yahel are free but Tal Shoham, their husband and father, is still being held.

Shiri Weiss and her daughter Noga were freed but Shiri’s husband is thought to be held and other relatives were killed.

Shoshan Haran is now free but her husband and sister were murdered.

Israel released the second group of Palestinian prisoners here tonight. They crossed over the Beitunia checkpoint in the West Bank to be greeted again by crowds of supporters and family members waiting out all the delays and uncertainties.

What was striking tonight, though, was the number of green Hamas flags which have really multiplied compared to last night.

Really big flags being carried by supporters, cars adorned with them and young men with the Hamas headbands tied around their foreheads.

There is a real sense Hamas wants to put its mark on this deal and to stand face-to-face with the Israeli forces at that checkpoint just a short distance from the prison complex run by Israel.

But, there was a show of force from Israeli troops as well tonight.

Last night the crowd surrounded vehicles as they crossed over the checkpoint - both the Red Cross vehicle and the bus carrying the Palestinian prisoners bringing them to a halt.

Tonight Israeli forces fired tear gas to try to clear the road in advance of the bus arriving and also used bulldozers to clear all the cars from the area.

This deal may have looked fragile at times but both sides here want to show their strength.

Maya Regev, 21, is one of three Israeli hostages released alone on Saturday.

Her brother, Itay, was also captured by Hamas on 7 October at the Supernova music festival and is thought to still be in captivity.

On the morning of 7 October, Maya's father got a call from his daughter who screamed: "Dad they're shooting at me, I'm dead."

The family said they later spotted Itay in handcuffs in the back of a vehicle in a video released by Hamas.

Almost two days later, the Israeli army informed the family that both Maya and Itay had been abducted.

Sharon Avigdori, 52, and her daughter Noam, 12, are also among the latest to be freed back into Israel on day two of the truce.

The pair, who are also relatives of Dr Shoshan Haran - another person that has also just been released - are believed to have been kidnapped from Be'eri at the same time last month.

We've just had a statement from Tom Hand who is the father of Emily Hand, the Irish Israeli released tonight.

"Emily came back to us!" he tells the BBC as he thanks those involved in helping free Emily and those who have comforted the family since she was seized.

Tom adds: "We can't find the words to describe our emotions after 50 challenging and complicated days.

"We are happy to hug Emily again, but at the same time, we remember Raya Rotem and all of the hostages who have yet to come back.

Gazans are trying to make the most of the pause in fighting to gather much-needed supplies, and visit their homes - or what is left of them - to see the damage, and recover what they can find.

The temporary truce has also seen more supplies allowed into the Palestinian territory.

More now on the Palestinian prisoners released by Israel under the hostage agreement.

Six women are among those believed to be freed; the remainder are all under 18 years old. Israel often detains Palestinians indefinitely and without charge.

TV pictures showed a bus carrying the prisoners in the West Bank town of Beitunia among celebrating crowds. Meanwhile a number of released prisoners were reported to have arrived in Jerusalem.

Dr Shoshan Haran, 67, was kidnapped from her home in Kibbutz Be'eri, according to Fair Planet, the non-profit she founded.

She has now been released, alongside her daughter Adi, 38, and Adi’s children Nave, 8, and Yahel, 3.

Dr Haran's husband, Avshalom - an economist and dual German/Israeli citizen - was killed in the attack, while Adi’s husband Tal is thought to still be among the hostages.

Noam Or, 17 and his 13-year-old sister Alma Or have been released this evening as part of a temporary cease-fire deal.

The two were abducted on 7 October with their father Dror Or, 48 who remains captive.

The body of Yonat Or, 50 - Dror's wife and the children's mother - was identified among the 120 people murdered at the kibbutz last month, Yonat's brother told the Guardian newspaper.

Shiri Weiss, 53, and her daughter Noga, 18, had been missing since the 7 October attacks on Kibbutz Be'eri, alongside Noga's father, Ilan.

A video message from the family said Shiri was captured while Noga hid under the bed, until fires set by Hamas forced her out and she too was kidnapped.

Ilan was last seen leaving the house to defend the kibbutz, but did not return and is not among the hostages to be released so far.

Hila Rotem Shoshani, 13, is among the latest Israeli hostages to be released. She was kidnapped alongside her mother, Raya, from Kibbutz Be'eri in the 7 October attacks.

Raya - who remains in Hamas captivity - messaged her brother on the day to say she and Hila were being taken to Gaza, according to Israeli media, and the family were officially told on 29 October that they were hostages.

Israel Prison Service say 39 Palestinians have been released under the hostage agreement.

We'll update you on this when we have more.

The released hostages are now inside Israeli territory, Israel's military has said.

Israel Defense Forces said the hostages underwent an initial medical assessment after arriving in Israel.

They are with IDF soldiers and will continue to be accompanied by them as they make their way to Israeli hospitals, where they will be reunited with their families, the IDF said in a statement.

Emily Hand has been emblematic of the terrible ordeal the hostages and their families have faced.

The nine-year-old Irish-Israeli girl held without any of her family with her.

Her dad Thomas Hand spoke at a press conference in London on Monday, sobbing as he said he was sure his daughter would be asking every day: "Where's my daddy, why didn't he come to save me?"

Thomas didn’t give up his campaigning, flying around the world with his message that Emily must be freed. He had originally been told she had been killed and said he was at least pleased she wasn’t being held in Gaza. But then he was told she was a hostage and he said getting her back was now his reason for living.

She turned nine while being held by Hamas so she will now finally be able to celebrate her birthday with her dad.

He said he realised it would take a long time to fix the mental trauma his little girl will have suffered.
