Thirteen more Israeli hostages, eight children and five women, and four foreign nationals were released from captivity in Gaza on Motzei Shabbos. Hamas transferred them to the Red Cross at about 11 p.m. after a seven-hour delay.

Hamas released a video on Friday of the release of the hostages on Friday. In an attempt to make themselves appear human, the barbarians “assisted” the hostages to enter the vehicles of the Red Cross.

24 hostages after seven weeks of captivity in the Gaza Strip,  including 13 Israeli citizens, some of whom are dual citizens, in addition to 10 Thai citizens and a Filipino citizen. The hostages, women and children, were undergoing medical checks before they were to be transferred to Israel.

The IDF has completed its preparations to receive the initial group of 13 hostages who are scheduled to be released at 4 p.m.

At precisely 7 a.m., the four-day ceasefire, brokered by Qatar between Israel and Hamas, came into effect.

The initial pause in the nearly seven-week-long war in Gaza, triggered by Hamas in response to the October 7 attacks, is anticipated to commence at 7 a.m. today, pending a smooth execution.

Just when you thought that British TV hosts may have come to their senses following the overwhelming evidence of the Hamas presence in Shifa Hospital, British Sky News host Kay Burley asked a question unprecedented in its absurdity.

Former Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard suggested that Israel should have forced the families of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza to be quiet, even suggesting imprisonment as a means to curb public pressure in negotiating deals with the terror group.

A Qatar Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas will begin on Friday morning at 7 a.m. He added that the first group of 13 hostages will be released on Friday at 4 p.m.

In a surprise announcement late Wednesday night, the head of Israel’s National Security Council, Tzachi Hanegbi, informed the Israeli public that the hostage deal is being delayed to Friday at the earliest and that negotiations are still ongoing.
