by

Daily Caller News Foundation

Hamas has promised to free a New Jersey man it captured during its Oct. 7, 2023 attacks in Israel, the terrorist group said Friday.

Hamas said it will release 21-year-old Edan Alexander with the bodies of four deceased hostages as part of a series of prisoner exchanges with Israel, Fox News reported, citing a statement from the organization. Alexander, a dual citizen, is the last living American hostage Hamas took when it invaded Israel in October 2023 and ignited more than 15 months of war in the Middle East.

The Palestinian militants did not elaborate on when they would release Alexander, who has been in captivity for 525 days as of Friday. Negotiations in Qatar to settle the war are ongoing amid a temporary ceasefire.
