Another group of hostages kidnapped by Hamas was just released.

The lead starts right now.

After more than 50 days held captive by Hamas, 11 more hostages are free tonight as Israel and Hamas

agree to pause fighting another two days, meaning even more hostage releases to come.

And the only Israeli man released by Hamas so far has a dual

Russian Israeli citizenship. Why him? And how did he spend four days on the run in Gaza? Was his release a Hamas favor to Vladimir Putin? Plus, the Palestinian prisoners who Israel is letting go and the two-tiered justice

system for many of them that led to so many of them being held without trial in

the first place.

Welcome to the lead, I'm Jake Tapper.

Also this hour we're gonna get to that major arrest of the man that police

say shot those three college students in Vermont. The suspect was in court today.

The college students were speaking English in Arabic at the time of Saturday

shooting, wearing the traditional Palestinian Kefia scarves, a shocking

apparent hate crime. New details in that case ahead. Well we start with breaking

news, a fourth group of hostages freed by Hamas now back safely

in Israel.

A spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces says all 11 citizens are Israeli, although

it's not yet clear if any of them are dual citizens.

The hostages and Missing Persons Forum says the freed hostages are.

12-year-old Aeton Yajalomi, Sharon Kunio, and her three-year-old kids Emma and Yuli,

Karina Engel and her kids, 18-year-old Mika and 11-year-old Yoval,

16-year-old Sahar Calderon and 12 and 12 year old Eres, Calderon.
