In exchange, Israel's releasing a group of Palestinian prisoners. It's part of the ongoing ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. This weekend, Hamas is expected to return six hostages who are still alive.

The migrants are from countries like Iran and China, and some had arrived in the U.S. hoping to seek asylum. Instead, they were put on a plane to Panama City after Panama struck a deal with the U.S. to take in deportees. They spent days locked in a hotel before being transferred to the remote camp.

One migrant told the Times it felt like being in a zoo, with detainees kept in cages, a claim that Panama's foreign minister denied. And in an update on the plane crash in Toronto, Delta Airlines says it will offer $30,000 to every passenger on the flight, which flipped upside down and burst into flames upon landing. Delta said the offer came with, quote, no strings attached.

No one was killed in the crash, and as of yesterday morning, all but one passenger had been released from the hospital. The investigation into the cause of the crash is still ongoing. And finally, Mount Etna in Sicily has been erupting for the last two weeks. This is something that happens regularly. Tourists have flocked to the Italian island for decades to see the volcano in action.

This time, though, there has been a flood of people, so many that cars are blocking the roads and emergency vehicles haven't been able to get through.

This week, they tried to ban people from approaching it. But people keep uploading photos and videos of the eruption from places that are supposed to be off-limits. A few videos show people skiing down the mountain while lava is smoldering in the distance.
