Two American hostages released from Gaza, Fox News is told

Fox News has independently confirmed that two American nationals held captive by Hamas have been released. 

"In response to Qatari efforts, Al-Qassam Brigades released two American citizens (a mother and her daughter) for humanitarian reasons, and to prove to the American people and the world that the claims made by Biden and his fascist administration are false and baseless," Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obaida said Friday. The Al-Qassam Brigades is the armed wing of Hamas.

A source tells Fox News the hostages are now in the care of the Red Cross.
