Weren't the hostages all returned when the ceasefire went into effect?

Edit: Made a mistake here. Removed some wrong info.

What about the non-Israeli hostages?

Do you mean the thousands of palestinians being held in torture camps? Many of them women and children?

Some of them will be released but their families won't be allowed to celebrate, their physical condition will not be reported by imperial media, their role as hostages won't be acknowledged, etc etc etc.

The Thai workers were released during phase one if you mean those.

I’m having trouble finding a great source confirming or denying what you say, but this article cites several remaining hostages are not active military https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-next-24-these-are-the-remaining-hostages-presumed-alive-in-gaza/

I recalled from the ceasefire plan that phase 1 included all civilians and phase 2 would be the Israeli soldiers. Seeing that phase 1 is finished I assumed all the non-combatants have now been released. I will have to double check my statement, thanks for the heads up.

Angrest, a soldier, was kidnapped from his tank at the Nahal Oz base when it was attacked by Hamas. He was abducted along with fellow soldier Itay Chen, 19, who was killed in the attack.

lol

Edit:

I was indeed wrong. Phase one included women including active duty IDF soldiers. Hamas counts all males in IDF reservist age range as soldiers. Thanks for the correction
