No Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza will be released before Friday despite the two sides having agreed to a truce, Israel's national security adviser has revealed.
Officials say negotiations for the four-day ceasefire and release of kidnapped Israelis are 'advancing and continuing', but the 10 women and children who were expected to be freed tomorrow will now not be released until Friday.
It was not immediately clear if the deal between Israel and Hamas blew up or if the delayed release of hostages stems from a technical matter.
News of the delay broke just hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed during a televised news conference to 'rescue all hostages held by Hamas' and 'obliterate' the terrorist group.
