TEL AVIV, November 26. /TASS/. A significant progress has been achieved in release of the second group of hostages, held by Palestinian radicals in the Gaza Strip, IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari said.

"We must remain patient. There has been a significant progress; we will inform the public when thing really start happening. We hold these negotiations via mediators with a brutal terrorist organization, and nothing could be considered complete until it happens in reality. Egypt and Qatar do everything to preserve the deal," he said during a briefing.

"We are full of resolve to fulfill the conditions of the agreement for today this evening. A delay has occurred, and we must be patient. There has been real progress right now. We will inform you about all stages, as we promised," Hagari said, answering a question.
