French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna has said that three young French nationals were among the captives released by Hamas on Monday and added that they were in good health, Al Jazeera reports.

“We have indirect news, and that news is good… It is a great, great relief,” Colonna told RTL radio, when asked about the health of Eitan, 12, Erez, 12, and Sahar 16.

“Three French children were finally freed; now we must work relentlessly for the release of all the other hostages,” she said, adding that five French nationals were still missing or believed to be held captive.
