The initial pause in the nearly seven-week-long war in Gaza, triggered by Hamas in response to the October 7 attacks, is anticipated to commence at 7 a.m. today, pending a smooth execution.
Nine hours later, at 4:00PM, the first batch of 13 hostages, who were taken from Israel on October 7 and held by Hamas in Gaza, is set to be released, as outlined in the agreement, albeit with possible uncertainties acknowledged by officials.
Israel possesses the list of the initial 13 hostages out of the total 50 expected to be released during the four-day cessation of hostilities in Gaza. Following this period, Israel has committed to resuming full-scale military operations. Additionally, Israel will release 150 Palestinian prisoners, including females and minors.
Israel has stated that the temporary ceasefire may be extended by one extra day for every 10 additional hostages released by the terrorists.
Authorities have established a defined protocol for the treatment of the liberated hostages, as Israeli citizens prepare for challenging days ahead.

As usual we can expect the bombardment in the hour leading up to the ceasefire, when the Israelis cease, and the enemy fires. I certainly hope EY is up to the task bombing living daylights out of them during that time as well if they start up.
The only thing that I don’t understand over here is that how can we let out convicted murderers out of jail. Doesn’t that put other Israelis at risk? However I’m so excited for the hostages to be released
Make good use if the time till 7am!
kihalacha, of course it does. Everyone knows that. Why do you think so many people were arguing against the deal?
