A New Jersey native held hostage by Hamas has been freed. Here’s what to know about Edan Alexander.
The freeing of Alexander marks the first hostage release since Israel broke a weekslong ceasefire with Hamas in March. His release leaves 58 hostages remaining in Gaza; about half are believed to be alive. Hamas has said the move is a goodwill gesture toward the Trump administration.
The parents of American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander, who was freed Monday after being held captive by Hamas in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, said they always maintained hope he'd be released.
Edan Alexander, who was raised in New Jersey, is believed to be the last living U.S. citizen held captive in Gaza.
