The age 16+ Palestinian "children" were released from Israeli prison today and their families rejoiced. I haven't seen footage of parents taking those children home to have a word about criminal behaviour. Picture it

Not only has Israel offered to extend the agreed to 4 days ceasefire, but they will extend the ceasefire another day for each 10 hostages that are released. Israel has also said that if the October 7 Massacre murderers are handed over, the bombing will stop. The war will end when Hamas terrorists are no longer in control of Gaza Hospitals, schools, clinics, boy scout centres, summer camps, Mosques, electricity, water and infrastructure.

The people of Gaza have to hand over the terrorists who orchestrated and committed the murders on October 7. Alternatively, IDF has to look for them, blowing up tunnels along the way.

‘I recognised him right away’: Thai woman describes joy and relief as her brother is freed by Hamas​


Rungarun Wichangern was lying on her bed, staring at her phone and hoping desperately for news, when she spotted the photo. An image had been shared on Facebook showing 10 Thai workers, who had been held hostage in Gaza for seven weeks, finally being driven to safety.

She felt sure her younger brother, 33-year-old Vetoon Phoome, who had been working on a farm close to Gaza and was abducted on 7 October, was among those freed.

“In the picture I could only see the side of his face, but I could recognise his expression, his eyes,” she said. “When I zoomed in, I thought: I think this is my brother.”

My hand was shivering. I had hope again.

Then she saw a video clip – it was filmed too far away to see the faces properly but she saw the way he walked. “I recognised him right away,” she said.

Vetoon’s sister tells of her happiness at his release in this exclusive report by Rebecca Ratcliffe and Navaon Siradapuvadol:

LAPD investigates protest at Brentwood home of AIPAC president as possible hate crime

Smoke devices were ignited in the street outside the Brentwood home, according to footage on social media, and fake blood was spattered on the property.
www.latimes.com www.latimes.com

This article describes several anti-semetic hate crimes in recent weeks. One involved :

The statement did not name the owner of the home that was targeted. Officer Melissa Ohana, an LAPD spokeswoman, said the department doesn’t identify victims of crimes.

But in a post on X, Mayor Karen Bass appeared to identify the victim as Michael Tuchin, a Los Angeles attorney and president of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC.

A video posted by the People’s City Council — Los Angeles showed a group of people standing outside a home that the organization identified as Tuchin’s, holding a banner that read, “F— your holiday baby killer.” A red liquid had been poured on the driveway. Small white bundles were scattered on the driveway and front lawn.


Very hypocritical for these protesters to throw 'blood' and small white bundles on this man's lawn, after we all know what Hamas did to babies and children on October 7th. Don't they think things through?
 
Israel’s Prison Service said on Saturday it was preparing 42 prisoners for release, suggesting Hamas would release 14 Israeli hostages, AP reported.

There has been no official Israeli announcement on the number of hostages to be freed on Saturday, though Hamas handed a list of names to the authorities late Friday.

It was not immediately clear how many non-Israeli captives may also be released.

‘Grandma is here, healthy and beautiful. Thank you people of Israel’: Yaffa Adar reunites with family​

adar-640x400.jpeg

The family of Yaffa Adar, 85, who was freed yesterday after 49 days held hostage in Gaza, post photos of her reunion with family members.

“Grandma is here, healthy and beautiful. Thank you people of Israel,” writes Adriana Adar.

“Thank you to everyone who supported us. It’s the first drop in the sea, we are waiting for you Tamir Adar, waiting for everyone! All of them! Right now, right now!!” she writes.

Yaffa’s grandson Tamir was also taken hostage to Gaza on October 7, but was not released.

Yaffa was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz. Video surfaced of Adar being driven in a golf cart in Gaza, wrapped in a pink-flowered blanket and looking stoic — in an image that became one of the symbols of the October 7 catastrophe, the terrorists’ readiness to harm anyone regardless of age and the courage of the victims.

From CNN’s Kocha Olarn in Bangkok and Manveena Suri

The mother of a Thai hostage released on Friday told CNN she “cried out of happiness” upon learning the news.

“I broke into tears when I spotted her in two video clips. I recognized her hair and the way she normally walks. I thought it was definitely her when I saw a lady walking to a bus in a red dress together with her hairstyle,” Boonyarin Srichan, the mother of Nutthawaree Munkan, told CNN over the phone on Saturday.

Srichan lives in Khon Kaen province, one of the country’s poorest, with her 8-year-old granddaughter.

She said she couldn’t contain her happiness and ran around her home, jumping up and down together with her granddaughter.

“I cried out of my happiness,” she said. Srichan hasn’t yet spoken to her daughter but plans to travel to Bangkok to receive her.

Earlier on Saturday, the Thai government confirmed her release. She was seen in a photograph alongside the nine other Thai hostages released.

20 Thai nationals still in Hamas captivity, says Thailand's Foreign Ministry​

An estimated 20 Thai nationals are still being held by Hamas as hostages in Gaza, the Thailand Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Saturday.

It added that of the 10 hostages released on Friday, four had not been previously confirmed as missing by Israeli authorities.

The families of the released hostages have been notified, and Thai Embassy officials are in the process of making “necessary arrangements for their travel back to Thailand," said the ministry.

It also thanked the governments of Qatar, Israel, Egypt, Iran, Malaysia and the International Committee of the Red Cross, expressing its “deepest appreciation to all of the parties from whom the Thai authorities had sought assistance and support.”

“We sincerely hope that the remaining hostages will be treated humanely and released safely as soon as possible,” it added.

Philippine President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos confirmed the release of a Philippine national, Gelienor "Jimmy" Pacheco, on Friday.

“I salute the work of the Philippine Foreign Service in securing his release, and once again thank the State of Qatar for their invaluable assistance in making Jimmy’s release possible,” Marcos said.

He had been working as a caregiver in Israel when he was taken hostage on October 7, according to Avishay Ben Zvi, the son of the man Pacheco had been caring for.

Zvi's father, Amitai, was killed in the Hamas attack on his kibbutz. Speaking to CNN, Zvi said Pacheco was doing "better than expected."

“He was talking to his wife tonight and so better than expected, I would say,” said Zvi, referring to photos of Pacheco FaceTiming with his wife in the Philippines.

“They're going to do some medical tests and emotional tests and treatment, but yes, most likely he will go to meet his family,” Zvi said.

The whereabouts of one other Philippine citizen held hostage, Noralyn Babadilla, remain unknown.

Watch: 9-year-old Ohad Munder is reunited with father for 1st time after release from Gaza​

ohad-640x400.jpeg

Ohad Munder, 9, is reunited with his father for the first time since he was released from the Gaza Strip yesterday.

In video released by the Schneider Medical Center, at the family’s request and with their permission, the child runs along a corridor and is swept up in his father’s arms.

Ohad was freed yesterday along with his 55-year-old mother Keren Munder, and his grandmother Ruti Munder, 78. Ruti’s husband Avraham Munder remains in Gaza.

Ohad turned nine while held in Gaza, and events were held across Israel to mark the day.

A keen solver of Rubik’s cubes, supporters created his portrait out of the puzzle while campaigning for his release. Images circulating on social media showed him solving a cube in hospital, watched by soldiers from the Israel Defense Forces.

14 Israeli hostages expected to be released today, official says​


It is expected that 14 Israelis will be released later today, an Israeli official source told the BBC and the AFP news agency.

Earlier, the Israel Prison Service said that 42 Palestinian prisoners are to be released — as part of the agreement between Israel and the Hamas terror group, three prisoners are to be freed for each Israeli let go.

Today is the second day of the lull in fighting that is also part of the deal — yesterday 13 Israeli hostages held by terrorists in the Gaza Strip were released, along with 10 Thai nationals and a Filipino who were set free in a separate agreement.

Some 50 hostages — children, their mothers and other women — are set to be freed over the four days, during which the IDF is pausing its military campaign to destroy Hamas in Gaza.

The four-day truce can potentially be extended for one extra day for each group of 10 more hostages freed by Hamas.

Afternoon summary​

Here is a round-up of the day’s headlines so far:

  • Israel’s Prison Service said on Saturday it was preparing 42 prisoners for release, suggesting Hamas would release 14 Israeli hostages, AP reported. There has been no official Israeli announcement on the number of hostages to be freed on Saturday, though Hamas handed a list of names to the authorities late Friday. It was not immediately clear how many non-Israeli captives may also be released.
  • Egypt has received a list from the Palestinian militant group Hamas of 14 hostages to be released on Saturday, security sources said. Earlier on Saturday, Israel also said it had received a list of hostages to be freed from Gaza on Saturday by Hamas, Reuters reported.
  • Iran facilitated Friday’s release of 10 Thai hostages from Gaza, providing a list of names to Hamas after a request to do so by Thailand’s foreign ministry and parliamentary speaker, Iran’s embassy in Thailand said on social media on Saturday. “This request was accepted by Hamas and 10 Thai hostages were released after the ceasefire,” it said.
  • The second day of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has allowed critical humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip and given civilians their first respite after seven weeks of war. The United Nations said the pause enabled it to scale up the delivery of food, water and medicine to the largest volume since the resumption of humanitarian aid convoys on 21 October, Associated Press reports.
  • It was also able to deliver 129,000 litres (34,078 gallons) of fuel – just over 10% of the daily pre-war volume – as well as cooking gas, for the first time since the war began. In the southern city of Khan Younis on Saturday, a long line of people with gas cans and other containers waited outside a filling station hoping to get some of the newly delivered fuel.
  • More than three dozen Palestinian prisoners returned home to a heroes’ welcome in the occupied West Bank on Friday following their release from Israeli prisons as part of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, the Associated Press reports. The freed prisoners, some accused of minor offences and others convicted in attacks, at a checkpoint outside Jerusalem were greeted by a massive crowd of chanting, clapping, hand-waving and shouting Palestinians.
  • US president Joe Biden said the chances were “real” that the temporary Israel-Hamas ceasefire could be extended. He said Friday’s hostage release was the “start of a process” and that he “will not stop” until all remaining hostages in Gaza were brought home. The deal reached by Israel and Hamas involved “extensive US diplomacy”, Biden said, adding: “It’s only a start, but so far it’s gone well.” He also said he expected American citizens to be among the hostages who would be released.
  • Most of the Israeli hostages released by Hamas were said to be in good health after returning to Israel, the hospital receiving them announced. Schneider Children’s hospital, where four women and four child hostages were released, said doctors had conducted a preliminary examination and said they were all in in good physical condition.
  • In the UK, Metropolitan police officers are to hand out leaflets to demonstrators to provide “absolute clarity” on what will be deemed an offence, as more than 100,000 people are expected to join a pro-Palestine march on Saturday. More than 1,500 officers will be on duty in London as the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) marches from Park Lane to Whitehall in protest over the Israel-Hamas conflict. The Met police said 500 officers from outside London would be on duty.

The second day of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has allowed critical humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip and given civilians their first respite after seven weeks of war.

The United Nations said the pause enabled it to scale up the delivery of food, water and medicine to the largest volume since the resumption of humanitarian aid convoys on 21 October, Associated Press reports.

It was also able to deliver 129,000 litres (34,078 gallons) of fuel – just over 10% of the daily pre-war volume – as well as cooking gas, for the first time since the war began.

For the first time in over a month, aid reached northern Gaza, the focus of Israel’s ground offensive. A UN convoy delivered flour to two facilities sheltering people displaced by fighting.

The UN said it and the Palestinian Red Crescent Society were also able to evacuate 40 patients and family members from a hospital in Gaza City, where much of the fighting has taken place, to a hospital in Khan Younis.

''Those freed from captivity in Gaza were 13 Israelis, 10 Thai nationals and a citizen of the Philippines.

The families of hostages expressed mixed emotions, fearing for those left behind.

"I'm not dead, I'm not dead," Thai farm worker Vetoon Phoome told his family, who thought he had been killed in the Hamas attack seven weeks ago, according to his sister, Roongarun Wichagern.

She told Reuters from her home in northeastern Thailand that her 33-year-old brother's survival was a "miracle."

''Thailand said 20 of its nationals remain captive, with Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin urging their release "as soon as possible" in a post on social media.
A source briefed on the negotiations said the Thai release was unrelated to the truce deal with Israel and followed a separate track of talks with Hamas mediated by Egypt and Qatar.''
