A short clip posted online today purports to show Hamas operatives exiting a tunnel and surrendering to Israeli troops in the area of Gaza City's Shati camp. Unclear when the video was taken, or further context. (Via מבזק דרומי)

“When I was first asked to work there (Shifa), I was told that there was a part of the hospital I was not go to near and if I did I’d be in danger of being shot.
”Does this sound like a normal hospital to you? #ShifaHospital #FreeGazaFromHamas
To civilians in northern Gaza:
Residents of Gaza City, especially the neighborhoods of the Old City of Jabalia and Shuja’iya, we urge you to evacuate your residential areas immediately in order to preserve your safety, via the Salah al-Din Road until 16:00, to reach the south of Wadi Gaza and the humanitarian zone.
There will be a local tactical pause for humanitarian purposes today between 10:00-14:00, in the area of the Jourat al-Lot and Batn al-Sameen neighborhoods in Khan Yunis.
Hamas has lost its control over northern Gaza, and is trying to prevent Gazans from moving southward for their safety. Residents whose way is blocked, can contact the IDF through this number: +972 50-341-0322 or the designated Telegram channel: @gaza_saver.

Palestinian terrorist expected to be swapped for hostages
Asraa Jabas, 38, was seriously disfigured after a gas cylinder exploded during an attack in 2015 in the West Bank which also left a policeman badly hurt.
Palestinian terrorist expected to be swapped for hostages demanded Israel pay for her plastic surgery after explosive she detonated left her with serious burns.
News reports from 2015 revealed how Jabas detonated a device close to a checkpoint after the 45-year-old policeman who was injured Moshe Chan, stopped her for acting suspiciously.As she pulled to a halt she jumped out and shouted 'Allah Akbar' before detonating a gas cylinder hidden in her bag.
Red bolding mine.
I feel badly for the Israeli policeman, Moshe Chan.
Hoping the petition is successful to keep her behind bars, if she's released it's a possibility she will plan another attack.
Omo.

So in Israel is someone considered innocent until proven guilty? Or are they being detained “just because”. That would put a whole different spin on the situation, IMO.

He said negotiators had some information about the identities of the hostages who are expected to be released, including that they will be women and children. But he cautioned that they won’t know exactly who will be released until it happens.
“The hostages will be released over the course of a period of four days. So there will be an agonizing wait day by day as families look to see if if their hostage, their loved one is in the particular release that day,” Sullivan said, adding that Palestinian prisoners will also be released each day.

"Mass rape was a premeditated part of Hamas's plan."
The First Lady of Israel, Michal Herzog, writes powerfully about Hamas rapists' horrific sexual violence on October 7—and the international community's shameful silence and denial.
After the first 50 hostages are released, the ball will be in Hamas’ court. For every 10 hostages it lets out, we’ll give it a day’s pause. @cnni
Rachel Goldberg, whose son, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, had his arm blown off and was then taken hostage on Oct. 7, shows a video of the attack to @Pontifex during a meeting he had with families of hostages in the Vatican this morning.

I you're using Chrome on a desktop, it's easy. Translate is on top right. Don't know about other browsers or cellphones though.
Charges are typical....
ETA: I don't want too be critical. Israel is in a different part of the world. Hostage taking is extremely rare in the US.
Abduction and kidnapping are for SA etc.

GAZA CITY — Four people, including three doctors, were killed when a hospital was struck amid intense fighting Tuesday in the Jabaliya refugee camp, the hospital director told Al-Jazeera TV.
The director of al-Awda hospital, Ahmed Mahna, blamed the strike on Israel, a claim that The Associated Press could not independently confirm. The medical aid group Doctors Without Borders confirmed that two of the doctors killed worked for it.
The group called for better protection of medical facilities, staff and patients in the besieged enclave.
“Seeing doctors killed next to hospital beds is beyond tragic, and this must stop now,” The aid group said in a post on X.
The Israeli military said Hamas fighters had retrenched in Jabaliya, a densely built district of concrete buildings near Gaza City that houses families displaced in the 1948 war surrounding Israel’s creation. Israel has bombarded the area for weeks.

I don’t see subtitles. But most of these hostages being released…almost every name read has, either had their parents murdered or their parent will remain behind as a hostage. That is why the anchor is somber. Bitter sweet.Oh my goodness!!Please let this materialize.

As Israel and Hamas Move Toward Hostages’ Release, Families Wait With Hope and Fear (Published 2023)
Families don’t yet know if their loved ones will be returned when the planned cease-fire takes effect.www.nytimes.com
“As Israel and Hamas indicated that they were preparing a cease-fire to free 50 hostages, some families of those abducted to Gaza last month were grappling with conflicting emotions: a growing optimism that their loved ones would return that was chilled by a gnawing fear that the deal might collapse — or worse, that they might be left behind.
“If we’ve been on a roller coaster, now we’re going up,” said Gili Roman, whose sister Yarden Roman was taken hostage from Be’eri, a Gaza border kibbutz, during the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7. “The fear is that the higher we go, the farther we’ll fall. There’s a lot of anxiety.”“
