Israel: Arbel Yehud, Agam Berger, 3rd hostage to be freed Thursday; 3 more on Saturday
|
[IsraelTimes] PM’s office also says Hamas has sent how many 1st-phase captives are alive, with tally matching Israeli intelligence; IDF to allow Gazans to return to Strip’s north Monday morning
Israel announced Sunday night that a dispute over the implementation of the ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas
 ..always the voice of sweet reason...
in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
had been resolved, with the terror group set to release six hostages in two batches this week, including civilian woman Arbel Yehud and soldier Agam Berger.
Jerusalem also said Hamas had finally sent a list detailing the conditions of the remaining hostages set to be released in the ongoing, 42-day first phase of the ceasefire, which began on January 19. Both the failure to send this list by Saturday and Hamas’s failure to free Yehud before IDF servicewomen had been regarded by Israel as violations of the truce deal.
With those matters resolved, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the military would allow hundreds of thousands of displaced Gazooks to return to the Strip’s north through the Netzarim Corridor starting Monday morning.
Netanyahu’s office said Israel had reached the agreement with Hamas after "strong and determined negotiations," and reiterated that it would "not tolerate any violation of the agreement."
The statement came shortly after Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
’s foreign ministry released similar details. The United States welcomed the developments and praised the Israeli government.
According to the agreement, Yehud, Berger and a third unnamed hostage will be released on Thursday. In addition, three more hostages will be freed on Saturday as scheduled.
NBC News previously reported that Keith Siegel, 65, a US native, would be released in the coming week, though there was no confirmation and it was unclear if this would happen on Thursday or Saturday.
In exchange for the hostages, Israel will free Paleostinian security prisoners — 30 for each civilian, and 50 for Berger including 30 murderous Moslems serving life sentences.
The fate of Yehud had become a major sticking point in the deal’s implementation, with Israel blocking the return of Paleostinians to northern Gaza after Hamas released four female soldiers on Saturday. Under the ceasefire and hostage release deal, the terror group had been required to prioritize the release of civilian women.
Yehud is being held by the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
, which had reportedly been falsely describing her as a soldier and demanding more prisoners be released in return for her. The Kan public broadcaster reported Sunday evening that PIJ had agreed to classify her as a civilian, helping to resolve the crisis.
Hamas said Sunday that it had given guarantees that Yehud was alive and safe and would be released soon.
In another step that helped overcome the obstacles, the Prime Minister’s Office said late Sunday that it had received a document from Hamas regarding whether or not the remaining hostages slated for release in the first stage of the ceasefire deal were still alive.
Hebrew media outlets reported, citing unnamed senior Israeli officials, that the Hamas list only included an overall number of captives who are alive rather than a specification regarding each abductee.
However,
denial ain't just a river in Egypt...
the sources said the number checked out with the intelligence Israel has and didn’t contain "surprises."
Reports have previously stated Israel believes 25 of the total of 33 hostages slated for release in the first phase are alive. With seven captives already released alive over the past week, this would mean that 18 of the remaining 26 hostages are alive while eight are dead.
Yehud, 28, and her boyfriend Ariel Cunio, 26, were kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas-led murderous Moslems stormed southern Israel to kill some 1,200 people and take 251 hostages, sparking the war in Gaza.
Cunio’s older brother David is also in Hamas captivity. Neither is slated for release during the deal’s first phase, in which Hamas has committed to free 33 women, children, men over 50, and those considered especially unhealthy, in return for some 1,904 Paleostinian security prisoners.
With the release Saturday of female soldiers Naama Levy, Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa and Liri Albag, three Israeli women remain in captivity in Gaza: soldier Agam Berger and civilians Yehud and Shiri Silberman Bibas.
The civilian women were to be released alongside the two children still in captivity: Silberman Bibas’s sons Ariel, 5, and Kfir, 2. The Bibas’s relatives said Saturday that their "world came crashing down" when Hamas announced it would not be releasing Shiri, Ariel and Kfir over the weekend.
Yarden Bibas, Silberman Bibas’s husband and father of the boys, is included in the list of unhealthy men to be released toward the end of the agreement’s first phase. The IDF said of the Bibas family Saturday that Israel has "grave concerns for their fate."
GAZANS SET TO BE ALLOWED TO RETURN TO NORTH
The announcement of the imminent green light for the return of Gazooks to the Strip’s north came after tens of thousands massed Sunday on a coastal road in central Gaza near the Netzarim Corridor, an IDF-held area separating northern Gaza from its south.
The IDF said it had fired warning shots at those who approached forces and "posed a threat." In addition, the military said that in southern Gaza, troops eliminated a member of Paleostinian Islamic Jihad’s rocket unit, after he "posed a threat."
Under the ceasefire deal, the Israeli military was to allow Paleostinians to return to northern Gaza along the al-Rashid road starting Saturday, and was to withdraw from part of the Netzarim Corridor, along that road, by Sunday.
However,
denial ain't just a river in Egypt...
Israel kept the passage closed, saying it would not allow Gazooks to reach the north of the Strip until Hamas arranged for the release of Yehud.
After that was overcome, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson tweeted that residents would be allowed to return northward on foot via the Netzarim Road and Rashid Street on the coast starting at 7 a.m. on Monday.
Vehicles would be allowed to pass through Salah a-Din Street in the east, after a security inspection, starting at 9 a.m., Avichay Adraee said.
Adraee also issued a series of warning to Gazooks, including not to transport terror operatives or weapons to northern Gaza; not to approach IDF positions and troops in Gaza or Israeli territory; not to near the Rafah Crossing and Philadelphi Corridor area in southern Gaza; and not to swim, dive or fish in the Mediterranean Sea in the coming days.
US President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
’s Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff described the latest Israel-Hamas agreements as "wonderful," shortly after they were announced.
"I talked to the president about it and he was thrilled about it," Witkoff told news hounds, hailing the role of Qatar and Israel in the talks.
"It’s a good day for the hostages," he said.
Hamas confirms it will free 6 hostages this week, including Arbel Yehud
[IsraelTimes] The Hamas terror group confirms that it will release Arbel Yehud and two other hostages “before Friday,” and that this is in addition to three hostages being set free on Saturday.
This confirms Israel’s version of the agreements, according to which Yehud, soldier Agam Berger and another captive will be released on Thursday in addition to three others on Saturday.
Hamas also says displaced residents of northern Gaza will be allowed to return to their homes this morning. The IDF has said the process will begin at 7 a.m.
