This morning, 4 tankers of fuel and 4 tankers of cooking gas—designated for operating essential humanitarian infrastructure—were transferred from Egypt to UN humanitarian aid organizations in southern Gaza, via the Rafah Crossing.

This was approved by the Israeli government as part of the pause and the framework for the release of the hostages, as agreed with the US and mediated by Qatar and Egypt.

True. I’m sure many of them suddenly develop a peaceful heart and become nuns.

Not to sure what nuns have to do with this. I simply stated that not all Hamas fighters are willing to become martyrs / fight to the death.

Maybe, just maybe.... some HAMAS fighters surrender, despite what lessons they received? For example, these 50 Hamas captive seem to have not chosen not to become martyrs.

We have completed preparations to receive the released hostages upon their return to Israel from Gaza.

In coordination with government ministries and security authorities, we have prepared to quickly receive the released hostages and give them all the necessary support.

We have readied several locations dedicated to their initial reception, which include the necessary medical provisions. After the initial reception and medical treatment, they will continue to hospitals where they’ll be reunited with their families.

IDF completes preparations to receive hostages with air teams, therapists, toys​

[...]

The military has prepared psychologists and mental health experts to greet the hostages, many of whom are expected to be children. The experts will explain to them what happened in their community on October 7 when they believe the time is right.

The IDF has brought phones for the hostages so that they can call their relatives immediately upon arriving at Hatzerim.

The released hostages will remain for up to two hours at Hatzerim before being taken to a hospital, either by helicopter or minibus. The helicopters will be flying in a more comfortable and quiet mode.

Those who need immediate medical attention will be taken straight from the border to a hospital, without going to Hatzerim.

The families of the hostages are waiting at the hospitals, and hotel rooms have been reserved in the area.

Lebanon border remains calm, seven hours into Gaza truce​

Hezbollah, which has been carrying out daily attacks on Israel along its northern border since October 7, has indicated it will also hold its fire in the next four days of the ceasefire in Gaza, though it was not part of the deal mediated by Qatar. Israel has not given any indication whether it will avoid targeting Hezbollah during this time.

“A precarious calm reigned on the southern border, with the humanitarian truce in Gaza coming into effect at 7 a.m.,” Lebanon’s official National News Agency reports.

Hours after the Gaza pause went into force, an Israeli military spokesman confirms to AFP that there have been no subsequent incidents or firing so far across the Lebanon border.

Hundreds gather at Tel Aviv Museum of Art for display of solidarity with hostages​

[...]

The event is a daily occurrence but attendance is significantly higher today in anticipation of the scheduled release of 13 of about 240 people who are presumed to be held hostage.

“Until they’re here, I don’t buy it,” says Keren Gonen, a 30-year-old nurse whose sister, Romi, is believed to be in Gaza. “I’m cautiously optimistic but am keeping back any emotion.” Gonen is a regular at the square “which is my home now,” she tells The Times of Israel.

Several stalls with volunteers offer activities for the visitors, including graffiti art with messages about the abducted. One of them reads “16:00,” a sign of the palpable sense of anticipation of the release. Organizers have placed a giant screen at the square, where they intend to livestream news footage of the release.

“Happiness over the expected release of the 13 hostages is mixing with grief over the ones still captive,” says Ortal Shimon-Raz, a psychologist who volunteers regularly at the square, which on October 24 was renamed by the municipality the Square for the Hostages and Missing. Shimon-Raz, 41, is part of team of volunteers wearing blue shirt emblazoned with the words “Emotional First Aid.”

Professionals will need to tell released hostages about what happened to their families soon, Israel says​

Professionals will have to "pretty quickly" share relevant information with the hostages released from Gaza about what has happened to their families and communities once they return to Israel, a representative with Israel's Ministry of Welfare and Social Affairs said Friday.

"We have to understand that some of them don't know that their significant others, their families, husbands, parents, siblings, maybe people in the communities have been murdered. Some of the people don't know that their entire community has been annihilated or almost entirely annihilated. And we will have to break the news to them very soon. This is something that cannot be delayed, because we don't want them to find out the bad and the sad news by rumors," Sarit Sarfatti, the ministry's deputy head of child protection social workers, said in a press briefing.
