More than 220 Israeli hostages remain in captivity as the war with Hamas continues.
Four women have been released — one says she was led through a spider's web of damp tunnels into a large hall where she was under 24-hour guard.
US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that hopes for the rest remain unclear.
He says the US and Israel are pressing for a much larger hostage release but they're tough negotiators.
Meanwhile, more than 700 Palestinians were also killed overnight by Israeli air strikes, according to Gaza's health ministry.
