Mozambique’s new president, Daniel Chapo of the ruling Frelimo party, appointed 12 cabinet ministers on Friday amid ongoing protests over alleged election rigging. At least 308 people have been killed since protests began on Oct. 21, according to election-monitoring group Plataforma Decide.

The three women — identified by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum as 24-year-old Romin Gonen, 31-year-old Doron Steinbrecher and 28-year-old Emily Damari — were released by Hamas militants to the Red Cross around 10:30 a.m. EST, 5:30 p.m. local time.
