Israeli officials say 39 Palestinians released

Twenty-four hostages were released from Gaza and 39 Palestinian prisoners were released from Israeli jails amid a four-day cease-fire, causing jubilation in the West Bank and hope in Israel.

Raucous crowds packed West Bank streets to celebrate the release of Palestinians under an agreement expected to result in the release of 50 hostages held by Hamas militants in Gaza.

Among those released by militants were 13 Israelis, 10 Thais and one Filipino, a Qatari official said.

The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it has received a list of hostages to be released tomorrow and has been in touch with their loved ones.

Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson Daniel Hagari said the releases brought a “great sense of relief.”

Speaking during a national address, U.S. President Joe Biden said, “It’s only a start, but so far it’s gone well.”

Hagari later issued more sober remarks during a video address in which he reminded Israelis and supporters of the state that many more hostages needed to be released — an estimated 240 were being held before the releases began — and Hamas needed to be eradicated.

“Today the world watched and breathed a collective sigh of relief,” he said. But he added, “But we must never lose sight of ... babies who were not reunited with their loved ones, who are still being held by Hamas.”

The IDF warned Gaza residents who moved south not to return to the war-torn north amid the cease-fire, indicating that more bloody warfare was likely when the cease-fire ends.

More than 1.7 million people have been displaced in Gaza, and the death toll has surpassed 14,500, health officials in Gaza have said.

Hagari said it’s not over yet.

Fighting must resume in order to secure the freedom of all the hostages, put an end to enemy Hamas and its threat to Israel’s existence and ensure that Oct. 7 happens “never again,” he said.

Hamas now says a second swap of captives with Israel will go ahead

Seven weeks after being seized by Hamas militants during a massive attack on Israel, 13 Israelis and four Thais walked to freedom late Saturday — but not before a last-minute delay nearly scuttled the deal.

The hostages join 13 others already released on the first day of a temporary cease-fire deal between Israel and Islamist militant group. In return, Israel is expected to release 39 Palestinian prisoners.

After Qatar and Egypt helped resolve a last-minute snag, Hamas said that the hostages-for-prisoners swap it put on hold for several hours was back on track.

The sudden reversal capped hours of uncertainty after the Palestinian militant group pulled back on the exchange deal, alleging that Israel had violated the terms of a temporary cease-fire agreement.

Then, Hamas issued a statement on social media saying it was putting the exchange back in motion after mediation from Egypt and Qatar "conveyed the occupation's (Israel's) commitment to all the conditions stipulated in the agreement."

Israel's military later said it had been informed that the 17 hostages captured by Hamas were released, and that Red Cross representatives had transferred the hostages to Egypt.

Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman, in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), had said earlier that 39 Palestinians would be released in exchange for 13 Israelis, "in addition to 7 foreigners outside the framework of the agreement." The Qatari spokesperson said in a later update that only four foreigners would be released.

On Friday, the first day of the cease-fire, the Palestinian militant group freed 13 Israelis, and — in a surprise move — 10 Thais and one Filipino as well. Israel released 39 Palestinians.

In the on-again, off-again lead up to a resolution on Saturday, senior Hamas leader Osama Hamdan, told a Beirut-based satellite news channel that a disagreement over how much aid Israel was allowing into northern Gaza was one sticking point and the reason for the delay. Another, he said, was Israel's firing on Palestinians — an apparent reference to an incident on Friday in which Hamas says two people were killed and 30 wounded by Israeli soldiers.

Nearly 15,000 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the conflict and more than 30,000 wounded, according to the latest figures from Gaza's health ministry.

Watch Russian Forces Take Out Ukrainian Dugout With Kamikaze Drone

Russian forces on the battlefields of the Ukrainian conflict demonstrate time and again the importance and effectiveness of kamikaze drones in modern warfare.

A short video released by the Russian Ministry of Defense shows how members of the Russian special forces' Viking detachment managed to deal a stinging blow to Ukrainian forces entrenched in the vicinity of Artemovsk (Bakhmut).

The drone’s operator managed to guide the UAV right into an enemy dugout before detonating the payload, wrecking the fortification and the Ukrainian militants hiding inside.

Watch Russian Su-30SM and Su-24M Obliterate Ukrainian Unmanned Boats in Black Sea

Russian naval aviation of the Black Sea Fleet destroyed Ukrainian crewless ships near the Crimean coastline.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has released footage showing a Russian Sukhoi Su-30SM and Sukhoi Su-24M patrol the waters off the coast of Crimea and destroy Ukrainian unmanned boats.

The Department for Information Support of the Black Sea Fleet specified that the Su-30SM and Su-24M crews’ mission is to identify and destroy Ukraine’s unmanned and high-speed landing boats.

“Detected high-speed surface targets, [namely] fighter jets and front-line bombers belonging to the duty force are struck by aircraft guns or aerial bombs,” the report said.

Besides, the Su-30SM multifunctional jets are highly effective against drones, used by the enemy in attempts to attack the infrastructure of the peninsula. Navy pilots have shot down dozens of Ukrainian drones over the Black Sea, the department added.

Watch Russian Troops Get Ready for Winter in Special Op Zone

After establishing their presence in the Krasny Liman area, Russian troops are now making preparations for the upcoming winter. Soldiers are actively engaged in setting up dugouts and constructing stoves, which are necessary for their winter operations.

The Russian Defense Ministry has published footage of the Russian troops getting ready for a prolonged stay in winter conditions in the Krasny Liman area.

The arrangements to gear up for winter are taking place while the Kiev regime's counteroffensive has turned out to be a disaster for Kiev regime, with Ukrainian losses amounting to over 90,000 servicemen.

Despite receiving substantial military and financial assistance from its Western partners, Ukraine's counteroffensive has faced significant setbacks. Reports indicate that Russia's forces are not only holding their ground but also advancing, liberating more and more settlements in the process.

This development is gradually changing the Western media's narrative, which initially hailed Ukraine's offensive capabilities. Now, the discourse is shifting towards acknowledging Kiev's losses and the growing need for negotiations.

The narrative highlights the changing position of Western countries in relation to the conflict. Initially, after deep involvement, now there seems to be a shift in resource allocation. Recent reports indicate that the aid, which was once generously flowing into Ukraine, is now being redirected, with a notable portion being sent to Israel. This realignment implies a strategic change in priorities for these Western nations.

Two Ukrainian fighter jets shot down – Russian MOD

Russian forces shot down two Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jets in a single 24-hour period this week, the country’s defense ministry said on Saturday, in its daily briefing. Moscow also claimed to have destroyed at least 18 of Kiev’s drones at the frontline in the same timeframe.

The two MiG-29s were downed in Ukraine’s southeastern Dnepropetrovsk Region, the military said. Both fighter jets were targeted by ground-based anti-aircraft systems, it added.

Some 18 unmanned aerial vehicles were downed along the frontline during the same period. The Russian military also reported that it had destroyed two Soviet-era P-18 very high frequency radars, utilized for detecting and tracking aerial targets.

In addition, Moscow also said its forces had taken out two ammunition stockpiles in the region. The depots contained unspecified aircraft ammunition, according to the defense ministry.

In recent weeks, the Russian military has apparently ramped up its efforts to finish off the arguably scarce remnants of the Ukrainian Air Force. Ukraine’s remaining jet fleet is believed to consist mainly of Soviet-era Su-27 and MiG-29 fighters, Su-24 frontline bombers, as well as a handful of Su-25 close air support planes.

The fighter jets have been used almost exclusively by Kiev for attacking ground targets, including with use of Western-supplied munitions adapted for the Soviet-made jets, such as the British-made Storm Shadow missile or its French-made variant SCALP-EG.

Late in October, Russia reported that it had destroyed 24 Ukrainian warplanes over a five-day period. The neutralization of warplanes en-masse became possible after troops received a new anti-aircraft system, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu revealed at the time.

Back to Ukrainian Drama -Ukraine's Official Saya Five wounded in Kyiv by largest drone attack yet on Ukraine

As we can see previously in Bakhmut and the Gaza Strip, Jews are so confident in making slander, portraits, such as in portraits of Jewish history for 4000 years.

Ukraine's capital suffered what officials said was Russia's largest drone attack of the war on Saturday, leaving five people wounded as the rumble of air defences and explosions woke residents at sunrise.

The attack began hitting different districts of Kyiv in the early hours of Saturday, with more waves coming as the sun came up. The air raid warning lasted six hours.

Ukraine's air force initially said 71 of the 75 drones had been shot down, but subsequently revised the number of downed craft to 74. Its spokesperson said on television that 66 of those had been downed over Kyiv and the surrounding region.

Air force chief Mykola Oleschuk praised the effectiveness of 'mobile fire' units - usually fast pickup trucks with a machine gun or flak cannon mounted on their flatbed. According to him, these downed nearly 40% of the drones.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko, writing on the Telegram app, said the attack had injured five people, including an 11-year-old girl, and damaged buildings in districts all across the city.

Fragments from a downed drone had started a fire in a children's nursery, he said.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy pointed out that the attack had come in the early hours of the day when Ukrainians commemorate their worst national tragedy - the 1932-33 Holodomor famine in which several million people starved to death.

As we can see previously in Bakhmut and the Gaza Strip, Jews are so confident in making slander, portraits, such as in portraits of Jewish history for 4000 years.

They have claimed that the drone attack was carried out by Russia, but the video shared by Reuters showed that the drone came from Kiev, not from Russian territory. So that was the result of the previous visit of the German and US defense ministers to Ukraine to build a new slander

Germany and Israel is a countries that must be eliminated, after 45 years of carrying out genocide and now again wanting to destroy the world order by spreading the Nazis, who, if we speak, do not have the ethics of politeness and respect for other people.

Relief as prisoners and captives return home

Thirty-nine Palestinians and 13 Israelis were welcomed home after release from Israeli prisons and captivity in Gaza, respectively. Ten Thais and one Filipino were also freed from Gaza and will soon be travelling home.

Israeli prime minister’s office says it has received a list of captives to be released on Saturday, the second day of the four-day truce.

Palestinians in Gaza enjoy a night free from Israeli attacks, although happiness is mixed with uncertainty at what follows the brief truce.

More than 14,800 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7. In Israel, the official death toll from Hamas’s attack stands at 1,200.

Palestinian families rejoice over release of minors and women in wartime prisoner swap

Over three dozen Palestinian prisoners returned home to a hero’s welcome in the occupied West Bank on Friday following their release from Israeli prisons as part of a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas.

The procession of freed prisoners, some accused of minor offenses and others convicted in attacks, at a checkpoint outside of Jerusalem stoked massive crowds of Palestinians into a chanting, clapping, hand-waving, screaming frenzy.

Fifteen dazed young men, all in stained grey prison sweatsuits and looking gaunt with exhaustion, glided through the streets on the shoulders of their teary-eyed fathers as fireworks turned the night sky to blazing color and patriotic Palestinian pop music blared.

Some of those released were draped in Palestinian flags, others in the green flags of Hamas. They flashed victory signs as they crowd-surfed.

“I have no words, I have no words,” said newly released 17-year-old Jamal Brahma, searching for something to say to the hordes of jostling journalists and thousands of chanting Palestinians, many in national dress. “Thank God.”

Tears fell down his father Khalil Brahma’s cheeks as he brought his son down from his shoulders and looked him in the eye for the first time in seven months. Israeli forces had arrested Jamal at his home in the Palestinian city of Jericho last spring and detained him without charge or trial.

“I just want to be his father again,” he said.

The release of the Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails came just hours after two dozen hostages, including 13 Israelis, were released from captivity in Gaza in the initial exchange of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners during the four-day cease-fire that started Friday. Under the deal, Hamas is to release at least 50 hostages, and Israel 150 Palestinian prisoners, over the four days. Israel said the truce can be extended an extra day for every additional 10 hostages freed.

Although the atmosphere was festive in the town of Beitunia near Israel’s hulking Ofer Prison in the West Bank, people were on edge.

The Israeli government has ordered police to shut down celebrations over the release. Israeli security forces at one point unleashed tear gas canisters on the crowds, sending young men, old women and small children sprinting away as they wept and screamed in pain.

“The army is trying to take this moment away from us but they can’t,” Mays Foqaha said as she tumbled into the arms of her newly released 18-year-old friend, Nour Al-Taher from Nablus, who was arrested during a protest in September at the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. ”This is our day of victory.”

The Palestinian detainees freed Friday included 24 women, some of whom had been sentenced to years-long prison terms over attempted stabbings and other attacks on Israeli security forces. Others had been accused of incitement on social media, There were also the 15 male teenagers, most of them charged with stone-throwing and “supporting terrorism,” a broadly defined accusation that underscores Israel’s long-running crackdown on young Palestinian men as violence surges in the occupied territory.

For families on both sides of the conflict, news of the exchange — perhaps the first hopeful moment in 49 days of war — stirred a bittersweet jumble of joy and anguish.

“As a Palestinian, my heart is broken for my brothers in Gaza, so I can’t really celebrate,” said Abdulqader Khatib, a UN worker whose 17-year-old son, Iyas, was placed last year in “administrative detention,” without charges or trial and based on secret evidence. “But I am a father. And deep inside, I am very happy.” Israel is now holding an all-time high of 2,200 Palestinians in administrative detention, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club, an advocacy group, in a controversial policy that Israel defends as a counter-terrorism measure.

Since Oct. 7, when Hamas took roughly 240 Israeli and foreign citizens hostage and killed 1,200 Israelis in its unprecedented rampage through southern Israel, Palestinians have wondered about the fate of their own prisoners.

Israel has a history of agreeing to lopsided exchanges. In 2011, Hamas got Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to release more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for a single captive Israeli soldier, Gilad Schalit.

A prisoner release touches Palestinian society to its core. Almost every Palestinian has a relative in jail – or has been there himself. Human rights groups estimate that over 750,000 Palestinians have passed through Israeli prisons since Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in 1967.

Whereas Israel views them as terrorists, Palestinians refer to them by the Arabic word for prisoners of war, and devote a good chunk of public funds to supporting them and their families. Israel and the US have condemned the grants to prisoner families as an incentive for violence.

“These kinds of prisoner exchanges are often the only hope families have to see their sons or fathers released before many years go by,” said Amira Khader, international advocacy officer at Addameer, a group supporting Palestinian prisoners. “It’s what they live for, it’s like a miracle from God.”

Since the Hamas attack, Israel has escalated a months-long West Bank crackdown on Palestinians suspected of ties to Hamas and other militant groups. Many prisoners are convicted by military courts, which prosecute Palestinians with a conviction rate of more than 99 percent. Rights groups say Palestinians are often denied due process and forced into confessions.

There are now 7,200 Palestinians in Israeli prison, said Qadura Fares, the director of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club, with over 2,000 arrested since Oct. 7 alone.

On Friday in Beitunia, a lanky and pimpled 16-year-old, Aban Hammad, stood unmoving, looking shaken by the tumult of tears, hugs and pro-Hamas chants around him. It was his first glimpse of the world after a year in prison for throwing stones in the northern town of Qalqilya. He was freed even though he had eight months of his sentence left to serve.

He turned toward his father, wrapping him into a hug. “Look, I’m almost bigger than you now,” he said.

UK's Cameron - Casualties in Israel-Hamas war ‘too high,’ settler violence in West Bank completely unacceptable

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said on Friday Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza has resulted in casualty figures that are “too high”.

The former British premier told Israeli leaders to respect international humanitarian law as they conduct a war which has so far killed over 14,000 Gazans, mostly civilians.

“We are going to have a continuous dialogue with them and keep making these points about humanitarian law, about civilian casualties,” Cameron said, but stated that Israel had a right to defend itself and get their hostages back. He also condemned the actions of Israeli settlers in the West Bank.

“People targeting and, on occasion, killing Palestinian civilians is completely unacceptable,” he told the BBC in Ramallah, adding those responsible need to be “arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned. These are crimes.” On the issue of finding a long term, durable solution to the security situation, Cameron emphasized that Palestinian security is integral to Israel’s security.

“There won’t be long term safety and security and stability for Israel, unless there is long term safety, security and stability for the Palestinian people,” he said.

Israel “must act in a way that delivers its long-term security” and that would depend on “Palestinians living in peace and stability and security in this land at the same time”.

On Thursday, a 12-year-old boy died from injuries sustained from Israeli army fire in Beita, south of Nablus.

Over 3 million Palestinians live in the West Bank among 700,000 Jewish settlers. Israel’s illegal settlement expansion is a major impediment to peace and security in the Holy Land.

Palestinian health authorities said 229 people have been killed in the West Bank by the Israeli army since Hamas attacked settlements near Gaza on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people and resulting in 240 being taken hostage. Israel’s heavy-handed response has prompted calls for a ceasefire to prevent further civilian deaths. Israel has rejected these calls, saying the halt will impede the military’s mission to completely eradicate Hamas.

Cameron, who was recently appointed to office after years away from politics, met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog on Thursday.

He urged Israel to get more aid into Gaza and make every effort to reduce civilian deaths.

The warring sides reached an agreement that came into effect on Friday, which will initiate a few days pause in fighting to enable hostages to be exchanged and more aid for civilians in Gaza.

On Friday, 13 Israelis were released, some with dual nationality, plus 10 Thais and a Filipino. Israel released 39 Palestinian women and children from jail.

Nearly 200 trucks carrying humanitarian aid, including water and medical supplies entered through the Rafah crossing on Friday, the most since the start of current hostilities.
