Hamas fighters release three gaunt, frail-looking Israeli civilian men they held for the past 16 months .

The three were among about 250 people abducted during the Hamas -led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 , that sparked the war.

They appeared to be in poorer physical condition than any of the 18 other hostages released so far during the ceasefire that began Jan. 19 .

Hamas may be reluctant to free more captives if it believes the U.S. and Israel are serious about depopulating Gaza .

Ceasefire ’s next phase is uncertain whether Israel and Hamas have begun negotiating a second phase of the ceasefire.

Hamas says it won’t release remaining hostages without an end to the war and a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza .

Israel says it is still committed to destroying Hamas , even after the militant group reasserted its rule over Gaza .

More than 47,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel 's retaliatory air and ground war.
