Eighteen hostages have been released since the ceasefire began on January 19. Israel launched 383 prisoners in return. Hamas says that another 183 should be released on Saturday.

About 33 hostages and 1900 prisoners are scheduled to be released by the end of the first stage of the ceasefire within three weeks. Israel says that eight of the 33 died. Hamas seized 251 hostages and killed about 1,200 people when Israel attacked October 7, 2023, which led to war.

At least 4,700 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli attack, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health in Hamas. The United Nations says that about two -thirds of Gaza buildings have been damaged or destroyed by Israel’s attacks.

Elie Charraby has been taken from Kibbutz Perry with his brother Yossi, who has been confirmed since then. The wife of the British -born Eli, Lyan, two daughters, Noya Wahil, was killed in the attack.

The son -in -law of Mr. Sharrabi, Stephen Presley, from Wales, said that his safe return “was always that sedition comfort.”

“Elie returns home alive may be the greatest memorial for Yyan and girls and we are about to achieve this now,” he added.

Ouhad bin Ami was also taken from Kibbutz Perry, with his wife, Raz. She was later released by Hamas. Mr. Bin Ami, an accountant, “is known for his good judgment and humor,” according to the hostage families forum.

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said that the authorities had received the list of risks prescribed for the issuance on Saturday, and their families were informed.

Earlier on Friday, the headquarters of the hostage and families forum “News about the expected version” welcomed the three hostages.

“We will not surrender or stop at any stage until all the hostages return to the house under the current agreement – up to another – to live for rehabilitation and the deceased for its appropriate burial,” the statement said.

Hours before the release of the hostages, Hamas accused Israel of failing to commit to its commitment to increasing the amount of humanitarian aid allowed in Gaza as part of the ceasefire deal.

“The humanitarian situation is still catastrophic due to Israeli obstacles,” Naama Marouov, head of the media office in Hamas in Gaza, told a press conference in Gaza City, according to media reports.

He said only 8,500 out of 12,000 trucks expected entered Gaza since the start of the shooting, and that medical equipment and shelter supplies have been deliberately late, according to reports.

This claim contradicts 10,000 trucks with food, medicine and tents He crossed to Gaza since the beginning of the ceasefire in what he called “a huge increase.”

Meanwhile, Yarden Pepas, 34, is an Israeli hostage Which was released on SaturdayHe made a direct appeal to Netanyahu to return his wife and children, who are still in captivity.

“Prime Minister Netanyahu, I am now addressing you with my own words … I return my family, return my friends, and bring everyone home,” said Mr. Pipas in his first general statement since his release.

In November 2023, Hamas claimed the wife of Mr. Pipas, Sherry, and two young children, Ariel and Kafir, who were killed in an Israeli air strike, without providing evidence. Israel did not confirm the report.
