Two US hostages held by Hamas in Gaza have been released by the militant group and are now in Israel
The pair have been named by the Israeli prime minister’s office as Judith Raanan and her daughter Natalie Raanan.
Judith is believed to be aged around 60 while Natalie is 17-years-old.
Both of them hold Israeli citizenship and were on a trip to Israel from their home in Chicago to celebrate the Jewish holidays.
They were seized during a major raid that day by militants from Gaza who stormed the border into southern Israel and killed hundreds of Israelis.

The Israeli PM’s office said Brigadier General Gal Hirsch, together with Israeli troops, “received” the mother and daughter “at the border of the Gaza Strip”.
Hamas said the pair were freed for “humanitarian reasons”.
Abu Ubaida of Hamas’s armed wing said the release was in response to Qatari mediation efforts and to “prove to the American people and the world that the claims made by Biden and his fascist administration are false and baseless”.
