Israeli hostages Iair Horn, Sagui Dekel-Chen and Sasha Troofanov arrived on Saturday at the point of release in Gaza after Egyptian and Qatari intermediaries helped prevent the conflict that threatened to sink the fragile truce.
The three were taken to the stage with militants armed with automatic rifles who stood on each side at a place at Khan Yenis, showed live shots.
They return in exchange for 369 Palestinian prisoners and detainees, a replacement that alleviates the fear that the agreement could be demolished before the end of the 42-day trial.
Dekel-Chen, 36-year-old American Israel, Troofanov, 29-year-old Russian Israel, and Horn, 46-year-old Argentine Israeli whose brother Eitan is also abducted, seized in Kibbutz Nir Oz, one community around Gaza’s belt that Hamas Gunmen overcame October 7, 2023.
Dozens of armed militants are arranged at the scene.
Some Hamas fighters carry rifles seized from the Israeli army during the attack on October 7, Hamas sources said.
Troofanov is abducted with his mother, grandmother and girlfriend, and all were released in a short truck in November 2023. His father was killed in an attack on Nir Oz, one of the worst affected communities, where one fourth person was either died or taken hostage.
Palestinian militant groups in Gaza say they will release the hostage of iair Horn, American Israeli Sagui Dekel-Chen and Russian Israeli Israeli Alexandre Sasha Troofanov on Saturday, in accordance with the terms of tribute with Israel.
Hamas had previously threatened that he would not release more hostages after accusing Israel of violating the trial terms by blocking assistance in entering Gaza, drawing opponents of the continuation of the struggle from Israel, who called the reserve and put his forces on high caution.
The glittering appearance of three hostages posted last week and the abuse accounts of other hostages published from January 19, when the tribute came into force, launched Israeli protests, demanding that the government adhere to the tribute and continue with the next phase of the agreement to bring all the hostages home.
In an apparent endeavor to take away some criticism of hostages, Islamic jihad, a militant group that is associated with Hamas and held the Troofanova, she posted a video of him on Friday, showing him to eat and fish on Gaza beach.
The prospects for survival of the fire interruption were also blurred by US president The call of Donald Trump To move Palestinians permanently from Gaza and surrender the enclave to the United States to rearrange. This call strongly rejected Palestinian groups, Arab states and western allies.
Hamas agreed last month to surrender more than 33 Israeli hostages, including women, children and sick, wounded and older men, in return for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and detainees, during six weeks of tribute during which Israeli forces would withdraw from some of their positions in Gaza.
Before Saturday, the 16th of 33 Israeli hostages was returned, along with five Thai people who were handed over to an unpaid edition. This left 76 hostages in Gaza, of which only about half are considered to be alive.
Hamas is expected to release three more Israeli hostages on Saturday in exchange for a safe return of 369 Palestinian prisoners and detainees. It would be the sixth replacement for a truce truce, and it was not certain that it would happen. Power & Politics hears from two former Canadian ambassadors, Jon Allen and Arif Lalani, about the growing fragility of Israel-Hamas a tribute.
The truce had to open the way for the second phase of the negotiations to return the remaining hostages and complete the withdrawal of Israeli forces before the last end of the war and the renewal of Gaza, which now lies in the mainly ruins, faced with lack of food, pregnant water and electricity.
The Hamas threat to give up the release of more hostages followed after his accusation that Israel had blocked tents and temporary materials for refuge from entering Gaza, leaving tens of thousands exposed to winter cold.
Israel rejected the accusation of saying that it had enabled thousands of trucks for help and accused Hamas in his agreement on transferring the agreement. Hamas said on Saturday that he expects Israel to fulfill his obligations for help to keep the truce on the road.
International help groups say more trucks have been going into Gaza since the beginning of the truce, but officials for help say they are insufficient to meet the needs of the population.
Israel attacked the coastal enclave after an attack on the Hamas on the community in Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people, according to the Talties Israeli and took 251 as hostage.
The Israeli military campaign that followed killed more than 48,000 Palestinians in Gaza, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, destroyed many of his buildings and left most of the homeless population.
