Here is a look back at some of today's key events:

• The temporary truce entered its seventh day after a last-minute agreement between Israel and Hamas to extend it for one more day
• Ten Israelis, two Russians, four Thais and 30 more Palestinians were released in the sixth exchange between Israel and Hamas
  
• Three hostages taken on October 7 have died, Hamas said
  
• At least three people were killed and eight wounded in a shooting attack in Jerusalem, Israeli police says
• There are still 67 Australians trying to leave Gaza, the government said
  
• Analysis: Last-minute extension shows how shaky truce is
  

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the temporary truce between Israel and Hamas had produced results and that the United States hoped that it continued.

In a meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Thursday, Blinken said Washington was focused on helping to secure freedom for the remaining hostages taken to Gaza during the October 7 attack by Hamas.

Herzog said about 150 hostages remained in Gaza.

"We have seen over the last week the very positive development of hostages coming home, being reunited with their families. And that should continue today. It's also enabled an increase in humanitarian assistance to go to innocent civilians in Gaza who need it desperately," Blinken said.

"So this process is producing results. It's important, and we hope that it can continue," Blinken said.

Making his third trip to the region since October 7, Blinken was also expected to visit the occupied West Bank, where he will likely meet Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, a Palestinian official said.

He was also expected to discuss Israel's looming offensive into southern Gaza. The US is asking Israel to take greater care to protect Palestinian civilians and limit damage to infrastructure in any offensive in the south, senior US officials said.

"I look forward to detailed conversations with the government of Israel about the way ahead in Gaza," Blinken said.

Israeli police have updated the death toll in a Jerusalem bus stop attack to three.

Two Palestinian attackers opened fire at the bus stop during the morning rush hour on Thursday at the entrance to Jerusalem, killing at least three people and wounding eight others, police said.

"The terrorists arrived at the scene by car in the morning, armed with an M-16 rifle and a handgun," police said.

"The terrorists began shooting at civilians before subsequently being killed at the scene."

The shooters came from East Jerusalem and were stopped by off-duty soldiers and another civilian who was nearby, police said.

Security camera footage aired by Israel's Channel 12 television showed the moments of the attack. A white car is seen stopped beside a crowded bus stop. Two men then step out, guns drawn, and run at the crowd as people scatter. Shortly afterwards the attackers are gunned down.

"This attack is further proof for our commitment to continue fighting with strength and determination against the murderous terrorism that threatens our citizens," Israeli cabinet minister Benny Gantz wrote on social media platform X.

A large number of first responders and security forces converged on the area that was crowded with morning commuters, and police said they were working to reopen the street.

Mika Shani was in Melbourne this morning when she learned her 16-year-old brother Amit was one of the Israeli hostages released by Hamas overnight.

Within a few hours, the 18-year-old Ms Shani was on a plane headed for Israel.

"I'm beyond happy I can't even explain my feelings," she said.

"I'm going to take a flight right now back home to see and be with him again after almost three months."

Ms Shani was in Australia as part of a delegation sharing stories of friends and family members killed and captured by Hamas, and advocating for the release of the remaining hostages.

She shared the story of Amit's capture at an event in Victorian parliament on Wednesday.

"[Hamas militants] broke into our house … Amit was trying to defend my mum and my two younger sisters so he jumped on the door. He was trying to close it on [them]," said Ms Shani, the eldest of four children.

Ms Shani said her brother was then tied up and forced into a car, despite her mum's pleas that they take her instead.

"Amit was already in the car. He was not looking at her. He was looking straight. He was trying to be calm in his reaction to calm her. She screamed to him don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I love you, we will get you out," she said.

With the news of her brother's release, Ms Shani today celebrated the keeping of that promise.

Emotional scenes unfolded as another group of hostages released from Gaza got to reunite with their loved ones on Wednesday in what was the sixth round of releases during the current temporary truce.

They were taken to the Hatzerim military base in Israel where family members were waiting.

Ten Israelis including one Dutch, one American and three German dual nationals, as well as two Russians and four Thais, were released from Gaza in the latest exchange, a Qatari mediator said earlier.

The Israel Prison Service said it released 30 Palestinians.

Members of Australia's Jewish community have gathered at Sydney's Bondi Beach to meet with family of Israeli hostages taken or killed on October 7 during the attack by Hamas. 

Large cutouts of the 200 plus hostages were placed on the grass behind the famous beach with the words "Bring Them Home" for those who continue to be held in Gaza. 

 The family members visiting Australia to tell their stories include Tali Kizhner — the mother of 28-year-old Segev Kizhner, who was killed at the Supernova Music Festival. 

There was a heavy security presence at Bondi this afternoon after 20 pro-Palestinian protesters entered a Melbourne hotel where the families were staying last night. 

 The families were taken to a nearby police station during a two hour security operation on Wednesday.

Ms Kizhner told the large crowd assembled at Bondi Beach about the morning the violence unfolded.

"I was texting the boy (my son) who was already dead," she said.

"I hope you never experience the kind of grief and pain we have been through."

Ms Kizhner said it was inappropriate for pro-Palestinian protesters to enter the Melbourne hotel last night where the visiting hostage families were staying.

"It brought back all the fear of that day (October 7) and it was very sad it happened. I feel sorry for them (the protesters) because it was so inappropriate."

Israeli Police are now reporting a second death in the Jerusalem shooting. 

Two Palestinian attackers opened fire at a bus stop during morning rush hour at the entrance to Jerusalem, killing at least two people and wounding eight others, Israeli police said.

"Two terrorists arrived at the scene in a vehicle armed with firearms, these terrorists opened fire towards civilians at the bus station and were subsequently neutralised by security forces and a nearby civilian," Israeli police said.

The attackers came from East Jerusalem, Jerusalem Police District Commander Doron Turgeman told reporters at the scene.

A large number of ambulances and police converged on the street that was crowded with morning commuters, and police said they were searching the area to make sure there were no other attackers.

The violent attack comes just after Israel and Hamas agreed to extend their ceasefire for a seventh day. 

The Pentagon's spokesperson, Brigadier-General Patrick S. Ryder, says while the US "fully understands" the need for Israel to respond to Hamas' attack on October 7th, they also "expect" that Israel will conduct operations "in accordance with the law and to take into account the safety and security of civilians".

As we have reported, top US officials are in the Middle East this week to try to prolong the temporary truce.

"We hope that we'll continue to see the release of Israeli hostages," General Ryder told RN Breakfast earlier today.

"We hope that we'll continue to see the people of Gaza, innocent Palestinians, be provided the support they need.

"But when it comes to Hamas of course it's always challenging to know what's truthful and what's not."

One woman has been killed and at least eight people were wounded in a shooting attack in Jerusalem on Thursday, Israel's Magen David Adom ambulance service said.

Police said the two suspected attackers "were neutralised on the spot."

A large number of ambulances and police converged on the scene of the shooting, which happened during morning rush hour at one of the entrances to the city.

Israeli media reported that two shooters opened fire near a bus stop.

Magen David Adom said that five people were in a serious condition, one moderate, and two mild.
