The militant group Hamas released two U.S. hostages — mother and daughter Judith and Natalie Raanan — who were kidnapped in its attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, U.S. President Joe Biden said in a statement on Friday.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the two Americans are “now safely in the hands of Israeli authorities” and that a team from the U.S. embassy will be seeing them shortly to provide support and assistance. He added that he welcomed their release and shared in “the relief” that their families and loved ones are feeling.

In a separate statement, Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari added that the women were taken from the Nahal Oz kibbutz near the Gaza border and that they were on the way to their family.

“It's uplifting news, we are all hoping and praying that all the people who are captive by Hamas and are getting inhumane treatment will get released as soon as possible," Tel Aviv resident Yaniv Hassidim, 35, said.

"The release of the hostages in Gaza today is a sliver of hope,” International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) president Mirjana Spoljaric said. “We continue to call for the immediate release of all hostages and we stand ready to help them and their families in any way we can. We also urgently call for a pause in the fighting in Gaza where the situation is nothing short of desperate.”
