The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office’s Coordinator for Hostages and Missing Persons is investigating the imminent release of hostages received overnight. Discussions about the awaited list continue in the absence of additional information.
Israel has reportedly received a list of 11 hostages set for release after enduring 52 days in Gaza’s captivity, a development reported by The Times of Israel, citing Hebrew media. Families, however, remain unaware if their loved ones are among those slated for release.
Hamas, within the first three days of a temporary ceasefire, has freed 39 abductees, aligning with a deal wherein 50 hostages will be liberated over four days in exchange for 150 Palestinian security prisoners, extendable for additional hostages.
Expressing readiness to prolong the truce, Hamas and Israel engage in negotiations. Amidst this, 17 individuals, including nine children, liberated from Gaza on Sunday underwent medical evaluations. Dr. Efrat Bron-Harlev confirmed the stable physical condition of the children and mothers with planned psychological assessments.
Notably, among the released hostages are four members of the Almog-Goldstein family. Their tragic loss of father Nadav and elder sister Yam during a prior attack remains poignant. Speaking to Channel 12 News, Inbar Goldstein, the children’s aunt, affirmed their return, emphasizing their resilience amidst tragedy.: Israel on Edge as Deadline Looms for Hostage Release – ‘Evaluating’ List Raises Tensions!”
