Hamas releases 6 Israeli hostages in latest exchange under fragile truce
ai generated text
A total of six Israeli hostages have been released from captivity in Gaza by Hamas. The releases occurred in two separate ceremonies, with the first two captives, Tal Shoham and Avera Mengistu, being handed over to the Red Cross in Rafah on Saturday. Three more captives, Eliya Cohen, Omer Wenkert, and Omer Shem Tov, were later released to Red Cross officials in Nuseirat.
A short while ago, the returning hostage Hisham al-Sayed crossed the border into Israeli territory accompanied by IDF (military) and ISA (security agency) forces.
Ariel and Kfir Bibas were murdered by terrorists in cold blood. The terrorists did not shoot the two young boys – they killed them with their bare hands. Afterwards, they committed horrific acts to cover up these atrocities.
We will work with determination to bring Shiri home together with all our hostages – both living and dead – and ensure that Hamas pays the full price for this cruel and malicious violation of the agreement.
The entire civilised world should condemn these horrific murders.
We confirm that it is not in our values or our interest to keep any bodies or not to abide by the covenants and agreements that we sign.
What form will this second phase take? We already know that Netanyahu is trying to drag things out. And that the rhetoric of Trump's Gaza plan is definitely a gift to Netanyahu's coalition, because you can't be more extreme right than the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
