The Israeli military says its forces in Gaza received the latest three hostages freed by Hamas and was bringing them back into Israel. In a statement, the mlitary said the three would undergo an initial medical assessment.

A lawyer for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of fatally gunning down U.S. health insurance executive Brian Thompson in December, told a judge Friday that her client was illegally searched during his arrest and she would seek to exclude that evidence from his trial on state murder and terrorism charges.

The seventh hostage-prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas has been delayed due to the terrorists' "humiliating" treatment of hostages, according to Prime Minister Netanyahu.
