Under the deal, Hamas is to free 50 of the roughly 240 hostages it is holding in the Gaza Strip over a four-day period, the Israeli government said Wednesday. It said it would extend the lull by an additional day for every 10 hostages released.
Ahead of Wednesday morning’s Cabinet vote, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would resume its offensive against Hamas after the cease-fire expires.
It was not immediately clear when the truce would go into effect.
The government said the first hostages to be released would be women and children.
It’s the right move under this circumstances, just think God forbid if any of our Loved ones is one of the hostages, we would put do anything and everything to get them back , let’s pray for the rest of the hostages to return to their families bekorevc.
Is there any proof that any of the hostages is alive? Or being terribly abused?
