The Israeli military says its forces in Gaza received the latest three hostages freed by Hamas and was bringing them back into Israel. In a statement, the mlitary said the three would undergo an initial medical assessment.

A lawyer for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of fatally gunning down U.S. health insurance executive Brian Thompson in December, told a judge Friday that her client was illegally searched during his arrest and she would seek to exclude that evidence from his trial on state murder and terrorism charges.

Two of the captives had been in the hands of Hamas for about 10 years. The rest were taken during the attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
