Thoughts on hostage deal:
50+ released hostages: Not enough, but it’s a meaningful number.
4-day pause in fighting: Hamas had years to prep for war plus weeks before current ground assault. 4 days won't change the big picture: Hamas can’t stop the IDF

Risk factors: Terrorists could improve positions, cheat, end deal after 1-2 days. But here's a key point: Main Hamas goal is not to regroup and magically defeat IDF. Hamas hopes to create a dynamic that stops the war entirely. If this fails, Israel wins

Israel Radar
@IsraelRadar_com
X factor: Release of hostages will give Israelis a big moment of joy & refuel anger at what Hamas did. It will also remind the world of Hamas atrocities. It’s a story the media can’t ignore. Bottom line: Not a great deal, but probably better than no deal.

There is no doubt that the coordinates are being supplied to America by Hamas itself, to protect key installations from attack. ALL agencies in the American Federal Government are riddled with Islamists and Islamic supporters (thank you Obama Hussein). Anything coming from America to Israel in regard to the Gaza War is more than likely going to favor Hamas. Any intelligence supplied by Israel to America will go directly to Iran and then to Hamas.

Israel knows this and is acting accordingly.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad announces death of a 76-year-old Israeli hostage
By Miles Schachner

The Palestinian group Islamic Jihad announced the death of a 76-year-old Israeli woman taken hostage on Oct. 7 on Tuesday night.

"We previously expressed our willingness to release her for humanitarian reasons, but the enemy was stalling and this led to her death," Al Quds Brigades said on its Telegram channel.

"In light of this announcement, we renew our affirmation of renouncing our responsibility towards our enemy prisoners in light of the barbaric and frenzied bombing of every inch of the Gaza Strip," the spokesman said, according to The Messenger.

According to various reports, the woman was identified as Hanna Katzir from Nir Oz.

Israel reaches tentative hostage, ceasefire deal with Hamas
By Ronny Reyes

Israel and Hamas reached a tentative deal Tuesday to free hostages from Gaza, reports said.

More than a month after kidnapping about 240 people during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, the Palestinian terror group Hamas reportedly agreed to release some of its captives.

In exchange, Israel had been expected to agree to a days-long pause in the war that has devastated the Palestinian enclave. Along with the cease-fire, Israel was reportedly set to release some of its prisoners.

US officials have said they were hoping that Abigail Mor Idan, a 3-year-old American girl whose parents were killed Oct. 7, would be among the children included in the negotiations.

Ahead of the hostage negotiations, Israeli soldiers transferred detained Palestinians on Tuesday out of the Gaza Strip. It is unclear if those transferred might be among the prisoners released in the hostage negotiations.

The reported deal was designed to create the first major pause in the war that has killed more than 1,200 people in the Jewish state and more than a reported 11,500 others in Gaza, an unprecedented loss of life in the decades of conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.

It would come as a relief to those sheltering in Gaza after Israel began an all-out bombardment and ground assault into the Palestinian enclave, shutting down hospitals and evacuating civilians to the south.

On Monday, injured Palestinians were evacuated from the struggling Indonesian hospital to the Nasser hospital in the southern city of Khan Yunis.

The cease-fire deal was likely be coordinated with further evacuations out of north Gaza, which holds several of Hamas’ headquarters, along with more aid trucks to be received by hospitals.

Israel and Hamas reach cease-fire, hostage deal

Israel has agreed Tuesday to a cease-fire and hostage release deal with Hamas that was brokered by Qatari negotiators, the Israeli government has confirmed to Fox News.

"Tonight, the government approved the outline for the first stage of achieving this goal, according to which at least 50 hostages - women and children - will be released for 4 days, during which there will be a lull in the fighting," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement. "The release of every ten additional hostages will result in an additional day of respite."

"The Israeli government, the IDF and the security forces will continue the war in order to return all the hostages, to complete the elimination of Hamas and to ensure that Gaza does not renew any threat to the State of Israel," the statement added.

The agreement comes as Israel and Hamas are in the 47th day of the war, which began on Oct. 7 when Palestinian terrorists launched a surprise attack on southern Israel.

To date, there have been more than 1,200 Israelis reported killed by Hamas, while the Hamas-run Palestinian Ministry of Health is claiming nearly 13,000 civilians have been killed from Israeli military activity in Gaza.

Only 50?  For a four-day pause, they should be releasing 200+.

[mystery-ak]

I predict Hamas will break the cease-fire...I just don't think Hamas has that many hostages that are still alive..hope I am wrong.

[Timber Rattler]

Only 50?  For a four-day pause, they should be releasing 200+.

Yeah, Netanyahu let himself get bargained down from over a 100+ hostages, and plus he has to throw in freeing a number of Hamas criminals too as part of the deal. 

 

[240B]

I have no faith that the Arabs will honor this "cease fire" or release 50 hostages.
Arabs have NEVER abided by any agreement before. What makes anyone think they will this time?
Hamas will just cheat and jerk around the agreement in every way possible and then claim that Israel broke the agreement.
This is what Arabs ALWAYS do, every single time. Because they know the media will support any claim they make no matter how absurd it is.

How many of the 50 will be dead? Hamas will only release dead bodies back to Israel.

[Timber Rattler]

I predict Hamas will break the cease-fire...I just don't think Hamas has that many hostages that are still alive..hope I am wrong.

yeah, you're probably right.  Most have likely been murdered or killed in airstrikes on the tunnels.  My prediction is that less than 20 will actually be turned over.

Pause in fighting could be extended if more hostages located by Hamas - Times of Israel

The Times of Israel also reports that there may be 30 more hostages released and that the pause in fighting could be extended “by a day for each group of 10 more Israeli hostages”:

"Israel believes Hamas could potentially locate some 30 more Israeli mothers and children beyond the initial 50, and that the halt in fighting could be extended by a day for each group of 10 more Israeli hostages who are located and freed, the government official said.

Hamas is claiming it cannot immediately track down around 10 children taken from Israel during the shock October 7 attack.”

Their compulsion, their raison d etre includes 'converting' those they can, and killing the rest. It's not just killing the Jews, but killing anyone not of them, which ironically, will include other Muslims before they are satisfied.

IDF pounds Gaza with deadly airstrikes, ground raids ahead of cease-fire


Smoke has been seen rising from the Gaza Strip Wednesday as Israel and Hamas are preparing to implement a temporary cease-fire in the region, which Egyptian state media says will go into effect at 3 a.m. ET Thursday.

Residents in Gaza City reported to the Associated Press that fighting there intensified overnight with gunfire and airstrikes.

“Apparently they want to advance before the truce,” resident Nasser al-Sheikh was quoted as saying.

The Israel Defense Forces, in a post on X this morning, reiterated once again for people in Gaza City to evacuate the area.

“Hamas has lost its control over northern Gaza and is trying to prevent Gazans from moving southward for their safety,” it added.

The IDF said in a statement that Israeli forces "continue to operate in the Gaza Strip to kill terrorists, destroy terrorist infrastructure, and locate weapons stored inside civilian buildings."

"This morning, IDF troops neutralized a terror tunnel shaft from which a Hamas terrorist exited and fired at the soldiers. Moreover, IDF troops identified terrorists and located weapons in a structure used by the Hamas terrorist organization," the IDF said. "The troops killed the terrorists and destroyed the structure."

"In addition, over the past day, as part of the assistance to ground troops, Israeli Navy forces struck several Hamas military targets, including a structure from which sniper fire was carried out against the troops, as well as several military posts located along the coastline," the IDF continued.

IDF Releases New Footage Of Terrorist Shooting Festival-Goer At Point-Blank Range During Hamas Attack

Israel released security camera footage Monday from the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack that shows gunmen chasing down music festival attendees and executing a woman at point-blank range, Reuters reported.

Israel is trying to deflect international criticism for its military incursion in the Gaza strip following the Hamas attacks, according to Reuters. Despite calls for a ceasefire to the war in Gaza, Israel has vowed to carry on with its military campaign until the Hamas threat is neutralized, the news agency reported.

“This is a war between good and evil,” a post on a social media account linked to Israel’s foreign ministry said.

The video shows Hamas gunmen chasing people fleeing from a music festival near the border that turned into a bloodbath, Reuters reported.

Gaza Ceasefire to Take Effect Thursday, With 50 Israeli Hostages, 150 Palestinians in First Swap

The truce would be the biggest diplomatic breakthrough in the month-old war, but Israeli PM Netanyahu has pledged to renew combat after the halt
Published 11/22/23 05:59 AM ET|Updated 3 hr ago
Peter S. Green

Israel and Hamas have agreed to a four-day ceasefire to take effect Thursday, while the Palestinians release between 50 and 80 Israeli hostages, and Israel lets up to 300 prisoners, mostly women and children, out of its jails, mediators said Wednesday.

The truce is the first halt in the fighting and the biggest diplomatic breakthrough since Hamas terrorists crossed into Israel on October 7, killing some 1,200 Israeli civilians and taking about more than 240 Israelis captive, and setting off a war with Israel that has devastated large swathes of Gaza.

As hostages are released, the fighting is expected to halt, and aid will be allowed to flow into Gaza, where many people have been without water, electricity or sufficient food for weeks.

Who are the Palestinians being released by Israel?
By David Spector

Israel and Hamas have reached a deal for the release of 50 of the 240 hostages taken by the terrorist group in exchange for 150 Palestinian prisoners.

Israel has ruled out releasing prisoners convicted of murder but could release those convicted of attempted murder, terrorist activity and other violent crimes, according to Haaretz.

The list includes 123 people under the age of 18, imprisoned for violent offenses such as throwing firebombs or arson.

Marah Bakeer, who was imprisoned at the age of 16 for stabbing an Israeli border patrol agent in 2015, is set to be released.

Yasmin Shaaban, 40, a woman who planned to disguise herself as a pregnant Jewish woman and commit a suicide bombing, could also be among those released, Ynet reports.

Also on the list is Shuruk Duwayyat, who stabbed two Jews in Jerusalem's Old City, and a Palestinian teenager who stabbed a woman in front of her children.

Another potential prisoner who could be released is Asra Jabas, 38, who wounded an Israeli soldier by blowing up a gas tank in 2015.

The oldest prisoner who could be released is 59.

Hamas took 240 hostages in its deadly October 7 terrorist attacks.

Among the hostages are an elderly Holocaust survivor, women, children and babies.

Presumed hostage Shani Gabay — recent law school grad shot at Oct. 7 rave — confirmed dead: IDF, reports
By Elizabeth Karpen

Shani Gabay, a young Israeli woman who was presumed taken hostage by Hamas, was confirmed dead by the IDF Wednesday.



Gabay, who was either 25 or 26, based on conflicting media reports,had recently graduated from law school and was working at the Supernova rave near Gaza on Oct. 7 when she was shot in the leg, the Times of Israel reported.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, a group formed to support those kidnapped by Hamas and impacted by the attacks on Israel, listed Gabay among the presumed hostages taken during the terrorist attack.
