Hostage handover took place in northern Gaza, eyewitnesses tell the BBC​

According to eyewitnesses inside Gaza, the released Israeli hostages have been handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in the north of Gaza rather than in the south, for the first time.

The handover to the ICRC, which has been designated to act as an intermediary, was reported to the BBC's Gaza correspondent Rushdi Abu Alouf, reporting from Istanbul.

Cries of joy and applause rang out in an auditorium at a hotel just north of Tel Aviv in the past few minutes as the first footage of the hostages appeared on screen, now safely in the hands Israeli military.

The people staying at this hotel are all former residents of Kfar Aza, the kibbutz that was home to the hostages being released tonight.

As each image of a released hostage was shown in the big screen, there were more cries and more applause. People grabbed one another and hugged.

“We were so terrified up until the last minute that something was going to go wrong,” said Elinor Bitton Bariach, 48, a friend of some of the families getting loved ones home.

“But now we are thrilled and happy, the excitement is unbelievable. It is a small community and this moment means everything to us.”

There are still nine people from the Kfar Aza community among the hostages in Gaza.

“It is not over, it is not the full happiness yet,” Elinor said.

“But we are here for each other. We will be a big community again.”

Yael Raz-Lahiani is feeling “happiness filled with suspense” as news breaks of the return to Israel of three members of her Kibbutz Nahal Oz, as part of a group of 14 Israelis who are back from captivity in Gaza.

“We are breathing three sighs of relief. But we are not relieved, not until all seven members of the kibbutz who have been abducted are back,” says Raz-Lahiani, a mother of three, at a press conference at Kibbutz Mishmar Ha’emek near Afula.

Living here are most of the surviving members of Nahal Oz, a small kibbutz of about 400 where 14 people were murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7.

Gallant says IDF has killed more than 100 Hezbollah members so far during war

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says the IDF has killed more than 100 Hezbollah members, and destroyed dozens of its observation posts, weapons depots and other sites amid the fighting in northern Israel.

“The combination of all these tactical achievements will translate into a different situation, which will later allow the return of the residents [of northern Israel] under completely different conditions than when we started this campaign,” Gallant says following an assessment in northern Israel.

Kfar Aza evacuees celebrate release of loved ones, demand rest be freed from Gaza

Hundreds of people are crowded into an event hall at Shefayim, waiting with bated breath for news of the latest hostage release.

Most are evacuees from Kibbutz Kfar Aza, home to the majority of the 14 Israeli hostages just released from 51 days of Hamas captivity.

Shachar Tzuk-Bazak, 32, who personally survived the October 7 massacre because she was away on a family vacation, but lost two family members to Hamas, says that she is “overjoyed” that several Kfar Aza residents were freed this evening, but holds the Israeli government and military responsible for both the failure that led to their capture and the failure to return the about 200 hostages remaining in Gaza.

“I’m overjoyed, but with every person being released, there is another person in captivity,” she says, adding that 19 people were kidnapped from Kfar Aza. “Half of them are getting released today and half of them are still in the cold, in the dark.”

[...]

Freed hostages Abigail Idan and Uriah Brodutch, both 4, are also from Kfar Aza. Tzuk-Barak says she wants to thank diplomats “for helping to get my nephew’s friends from kindergarten back.”
