The release of four of the five female soldiers abducted from the Nahal Oz base near the Gaza border during the deadly terror attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023; In return, Israel also kept 200 Palestinian prisoners and detainees
Deir al-Balah (Gaza Strip), January 25
Hamas released four Israeli captive female soldiers on Saturday. Before this, these hostages were turned around in front of the crowd. Israel, on the other hand, will also release 200 Palestinian prisoners or detainees as part of a fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Israel confirmed that it had received the handover of the hostages to its forces, who had previously been handed over to the Red Cross by Hamas.
Crowds began to gather in Tel Aviv and Gaza ahead of the expected exchange between Israel and Hamas, the second such exchange since a ceasefire began in the Gaza Strip last weekend, which is a fragile ceasefire agreement. There is also another trial.
The objective of this ceasefire is to end the deadliest and most destructive war between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas. This critical agreement has remained in place until now, due to which Israel’s continued airstrikes on Gaza have come to a halt.
On this occasion, a large screen in Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square showed the faces of four female soldiers, who were expected to be released. Some of the growing crowd wore Israeli flags and many others held posters with the faces of the hostages. These four Israeli women soldiers – Karina Ariev (20), Daniella Gilboa (20), Nama Levy (20) and Liri Albag (19) (Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, Liri Albag) were killed by Hamas in Israel on October 7. 2023 was abducted during a terrible terrorist attack and this attack by Hamas led to the outbreak of the Gaza war.
They were taken from the Nahal Oz base near the Gaza border when Hamas seized it during the attack. Meanwhile, more than 60 soldiers were killed there. All the abducted women were working in a lookout unit monitoring threats along the border. On this occasion, the fifth woman soldier of his unit, 20-year-old Agam Berger, was also abducted, but her name was not included in today’s release list. – Ap
