Hamas releases last six living hostages expected under first phase of ceasefire with Israel .

Five were handed over in staged ceremonies that the Red Cross and Israel have condemned as cruel and disrespectful.

Hamas has said it won’t release the remaining captives without a lasting ceasefire and full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza .

The release of over 600 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel was delayed, apparently for Israeli security consultations.

The 620 Palestinian prisoners to be freed include 151 who were serving life or other sentences for violent attacks against Israelis .

Also being released are 445 men; 18 children aged 15 to 17 , and five aged 18 to 19; and a woman.

The Oct. 7 attack killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians.

Israel ’s military offensive has killed over 48,000 Palestinians .
