An American mother and daughter who were taken hostage when Hamas stormed the kibbutz they were visiting earlier this month have been released, officials said Friday.

Judith Raanan and her 17-year-old daughter, Natalie, were both let go from Hamas custody in Gaza and were said to be en route to a military base in central Israel to reunite with their family, the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on X.

A photograph later showed the mother and daughter being escorted through the night by what appeared to be military officials.
