Social Media Posted Sunday at 08:49 PM Posted Sunday at 08:49 PM Hostages Reunite with Families After Release from Gaza. In a moment filled with both joy, relief and heartbreak for those still held captive or dead, three hostages, Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher, returned to Israel after 471 harrowing days in Hamas captivity. They arrived at the Re’im military base in southern Israel, where their mothers awaited them with open arms. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that the women underwent initial medical assessments upon arrival, accompanied by IDF officers, before being taken to Safra Children’s Hospital at Ramat Gan’s Sheba Medical Center. The hospital, chosen for its serene and private accommodations, is providing the women with essential care. The facility has prepared fresh clothing, toiletries, beauty care, and specially crafted meals to aid their recovery. A special medical team and support personnel are attending to their needs during what is expected to be an extended stay. They’re out! The first shots of the freed hostages were captured by Al Jazeera. Thank God they will be home 🇮🇱 pic.twitter.com/s7o4CDKRT2 — James Spiro (@JamesSpiro) January 19, 2025 The atmosphere outside the hospital was a mix of celebration and reflection. Liah Lahat, whose 16-year-old daughter is a patient at the hospital, expressed the complex emotions of the day. “This is a joyful and fulfilling moment,” she shared, standing near the cordoned-off press area. “But it is joy mixed with sorrow.” She added that the children in the ward were excited about the hostages’ return, revealing that her daughter had written and recorded songs for them as a gesture of support. Footage of the Hamas monsters and their supporters during the hostage release is the only reminder needed to know they must be destroyed. pic.twitter.com/p6DYXCaHr6 — Eli Kowaz - איליי קואז (@elikowaz) January 19, 2025 The release of the hostages was marked by jubilant scenes. Footage released by the IDF captured families celebrating as the women were handed over to troops in the Gaza Strip. Emotions ran high as loved ones jumped, waved their hands in the air, and embraced the long-awaited moment. The mothers of the three women stood with IDF officials near the border facility, watching their daughters return home. Among them was Maj. Gen. Dado Bar Kalifa, head of the IDF Personnel Directorate, who witnessed the reunion firsthand. Speaking at a press conference, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari assured the public of the women’s safety. “They are in our hands. They are coming home,” he stated. The three women were escorted by IDF special forces to a facility near the border for a preliminary checkup before their transfer to the hospital. This event marks the end of a grueling ordeal for the hostages and their families, symbolizing resilience and hope amid immense challenges. As the nation celebrates their return, the focus now shifts to their recovery and reintegration into daily life. Based on a report by TOI 2025-01-20 1

thaibeachlovers Posted Sunday at 10:56 PM Posted Sunday at 10:56 PM but the Palestinians that were supposed to be released are still in prison. The israelis even fired tear gas at those waiting for their relatives to be released. Seems they are doing whatever they can to sabotage the ceasefire.

Shame on you. Israel negotiated for the release of men, women, and children stolen by terrorists from their homes. Hamas negotiated for the release of rapists, murderers, and terrorists from Israeli jails. This is all you need to know about the difference between the two sides in this fight. https://x.com/IsraelWarRoom/status/1880762102719402062 2 2 5

Those Palestinians look remarkable well , considering they've spent the last 15 months on the brink of starvation

Bkk Brian Posted Tuesday at 01:52 AM Posted Tuesday at 01:52 AM The terrorists still playing games... The second hostage release will occur on Saturday January 25, 2025 as planned, Hamas stated on its Telegram on Monday, just hours after it stated it would delay the release until Sunday. https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-838418

Bkk Brian Posted Tuesday at 07:04 AM Posted Tuesday at 07:04 AM No surprise here then, more evidence that the Hamas supporters would rather ignore. Some of the hostages were held in Gaza’s “humanitarian zone.” ‘I thought I’d die in Gaza’: First testimonies from freed hostages released Channel 12 reported that the women said they were not held alone during their time in captivity, and that they were moved to various places in Gaza, including the designated “humanitarian zone” in the south of the Strip. https://www.timesofisrael.com/i-thought-id-die-in-gaza-first-testimonies-from-freed-hostages-released/
Social Media Posted Wednesday at 02:29 AM Author Posted Wednesday at 02:29 AM UPDATE Hamas says 4 female hostages to be released on Saturday Hamas official Taher al-Nunu tells AFP that four Israeli women hostages will be freed in return for Palestinian prisoners on Saturday, in the second such release under a ceasefire deal. Nunu says Hamas would release “four Israeli female detainees in exchange” for a second group of Palestinian prisoners. He does not name them. There are seven female hostages remaining from the original list of 33 to be released in the first phase of the hostage ceasefire deal: Arbel Yehud, 29; Shiri Silberman Bibas, 33; Liri Albag, 19; Karina Ariev, 20; Agam Berger, 21; Danielle Gilboa, 20 and Naama Levy, 20. AFP & TOI
Bkk Brian Posted Wednesday at 11:26 AM Posted Wednesday at 11:26 AM You won't read this on the BBC either............ Former hostages Romi, Emily, and Doron were held in United Nations shelters in Gaza, which were meant for civilians. The UN refuses to condemn Hamas for hiding hostages in civilian spaces. https://x.com/Israel/status/1881897960126222450
