The IDF announced shortly after 10:30 a.m. that released IDF soldier Agam Berger crossed the border into Israel after 482 days of captivity in Gaza. She reunited with her parents near the Gaza border and was flown to Beilinson Hospital.

Berger was released by Hamas to the Red Cross in Jabaliya in northern Gaza after being forced to parade across a stage in front of a huge crowd in a mock IDF uniform.

A few hours later, in the early afternoon, Arbel Yehud, 29, and Gadi Mozes, 80, and five Thai hostages were transferred on Thursday to the Red Cross after being forced to walk, surrounded by Islamic Jihad terrorists, through a chaotic jeering mob of human animals. A video of Yehud being forced through the crowd showed her visibly terrified.

The second group of hostages were transferred to the IDF and crossed into Israel at about 2 p.m.

The IDF announced that Mozes was examined and is in stable condition. He is being transferred to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

Israel has reportedly sent angry messages of protest at the treatment of the hostages to the mediators. Later, it was reported that Israel turned back the bus of released terrorists from Ofer Prison and is refusing to release them until the mediators arrange guarantees that hostages to be released in the next stage will not endure such scenes of terror.

In a heinous display of terror and cruelty, hundreds of armed and masked Islamic Jihad terrorists and “innocent” Gazan civilians swarmed like cockroaches at the site of the release of an elderly man, a female Israeli civilian, and five Thair nationals in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Yehud and Mozes were exposed to chaotic sights and sounds as the vehicle carrying them slowly progressed amid the mob scene to the site of the transfer, next to the rubble that formerly was the home of slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. According to reports, their delay was released due to the PIJ terror group’s bestial desire to photograph the hostages in front of the ruins of Sinwar’s home.

The video below shows the five Thai nationals, whose release was negotiated in a separate deal, being taken through the jeering crowd. Reports say that the Thai hostages were examined and found to be in good condition.

Terrorists rode to the site on vehicles equipped with machine guns.

Earlier on Thursday morning, Islamic Jihad posted a propaganda video showing Yehud and Mozes ahead of their release.
