Israel and Hamas began their second exchange of captives late Saturday, Nov. 25.
Hamas turned over 13 Israelis - six women and seven minors - and four Thai nationals to the Red Cross, which drove them to Gaza's Rafah border crossing with Egypt.
The transfer was delayed briefly when Hamas complained that Israel was not honoring aid commitments.
In exchange for the 13 Israeli hostages, Israel agreed to release 39 Palestinians from Ofer Prison in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. The group is believed to comprise women and teenage boys.
In the first exchange on Friday, Israel released 39 Palestinians, and Hamas freed 13 Israelis and 11 foreigners - 10 Thais and one Filipino.
Both sides have been observing a ceasefire planned to last at least four days.
