➡️Palestinian militant group Hamas released the first set of Israeli hostages on Friday, according to national media. The group, which had been held captive in Gaza since October 7, has already crossed from Gaza into Egypt, the Times of Israel reported.
The release of the 13 hostages was reportedly supervised by staff from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The organization’s ambulances are said to have taken the group from Khan Younis in southern Gaza to the Rafah crossing on the Egyptian border.
Unverified footage shared online purports to show the ambulance convoy carrying the hostages. Israel is expected to reciprocate with the release of a number of Palestinian prisoners by the end of the day. 
The current truce is expected to last for four days, with the two sides set to exchange a total of 50 Israeli women and children for 150 Palestinian civilians held in Israeli jails.⬅️

➡️MADRID :The Bank of Spain has asked for detailed information after recent disruptions to the country's payments network and is closely monitoring the situation together with the government, two sources with knowledge of the matter said on Friday.
Spain's largest payments platform Redsys crashed last weekend and again on Nov. 23, ahead of Black Friday, which is one of the busiest periods of commercial activity.

A source close to the central bank said it had not opened a formal case into Redsys, which is owned by Spanish banks including Santander, BBVA and Caixabank and handles their electronic payments business.
The Spanish government was also looking into the disruptions, a source at the Economy Ministry said, without giving further details.
Customers complained on social media about failed ATM withdrawals and credit card payments on Nov. 18. Redsys responded by saying disruptions had been resolved and were due to internal communication lines, ruling out any external attack.
