Israeli officials says no captives released before Friday as part of Qatar-mediated truce agreement

A truce deal between Israel and Hamas is being delayed.
Israel's national security adviser says no captives held in Gaza will be released before Friday.
The deal was reached after weeks of negotiations mediated by Qatar, alongside the US and Egypt.

It remains unclear when the truce will actually come into effect.
It was initially expected to start on Thursday morning.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the agreement with Hamas was a difficult, but right decision.
But he's made it clear he intends to continue the war, and said the army will use the time to prepare for more fighting.
