Hamas will release four Israeli female soldiers held captive for over 15 months, in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. This is the second prisoner exchange since the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into effect last week. The deal, however, has faced complications as Hamas failed to include all promised hostages in the initial exchange.
Hamas has revealed the names of the four Israel i hostages who will be freed on Saturday in the second exchange since the cease-fire deal between the Jewish state and terror group went into effect last week.
Per the terms of the agreement, Hamas must release all of the female civilian hostages before then freeing female IDF soldiers. There were 97 Israeli hostages — civilians and soldiers — listed in captivity when the deal was inked, but only 60 are believed to be alive. Romi Gonen, 23, Emily Damari, 28, and Doron Steinbrecher, 31, were freed on Jan. 19, the first day of the cease-fire.There are seven female hostages still in Hamas’ hands, according to the Times of Israel: Arbel Yehud, 29, Shiri Silberman Bibas, 33, Liri Albag, 19, Karina Ariev, 20, Agam Berger, 21, Daniella Giboa, 20, and Naama Levy, 20.
The devastating conflict in Gaza began on Oct. 7, 2023, when the terrorists and their allies slaughtered roughly 1,200 people in Israel in a surprise attack and took another roughly 250 hostage.
