I posted earlier on the agreement reached to release some of the hostages held by Hamas terrorists i Gaza:
- 50 hostages to be released
- woman and children
- over the next 4 days
- fighting will pause during this time, said to be a "full pause in military operations throughout Gaza"
- a "surge" in humanitarian supplies into Gaza is expected
There are more than 200 hostages being held, but IU guess this is a start. Let's hope all will be released soon.
