According to The Times of Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed to the Red Cross on Tuesday that eleven Israeli hostages had been freed on the fourth day of the cease-fire. Later, Majed al-Ansari, the spokeswoman for Qatar’s foreign ministry, confirmed that the truce agreement’s fourth day had been implemented, with 11 Israeli “detainees” being freed in return for 33 Palestinian “civilians.” The Times of Israel claims that Hamas held the Israelis captive for fifty-two days.
“According to the information provided by the Red Cross, 11 Israeli hostages are on their way to Israeli territory,” the IDF said.
Moreover, the 11 Israeli hostages released from Gaza were identified from five families.
From the Cunio family, Sharon Aloni Cunio (33), Emma Cunio (3), and Yuli Cunio (3) were released. However, the father David Cunio is still under Hamas captivity in Gaza.
According to The Times of Israel, family members of the Engel family include Karina Engel-Bart (51), Mika Engel (18), Yuval Engel (10), and Ronel Engel, father, who still remains hostage in Gaza.
Moreover, two members were released from the Calderon family, including Sahar Calderon (16) and Erez Calderon (12). However, their father Ofer Calderon is still in Gaza.
