Khan Younis (Gaza Patti): Israel and Hamas completed the sixth exchange of hostage and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners on Saturday. Gaza, who was trapped in the delicate era, remains only two weeks left in the initial stage of the ceasefire. Israel expressed relief as three hostages-Arjetinian-Israeli Ire Horn (46), American Israeli Sagui Dekele Chen (36) and Russian Israeli Alexander Troffanov (29) appeared in good conditions from the hostages who were released a week ago. .
However, the hostage released a week ago looked weak. Before meeting the family again, Troffanov was told that his father died on October 7, 2023 in a Hamas attack. Chen was ready to meet his youngest daughter for the first time. Horn’s brother, Eaton is still hostage. In the Southern Gaza Patti, Hamas extremists on Saturday paraded the crowd before the crowd before releasing three Israeli male hostages. He was later handed over to Red Cross in Khan Younis. Later 369 Palestinian prisoners were released.
The ceasefire came into force 4 weeks ago
The ceasefire, which came into force about four weeks ago, was at risk in recent times due to a stressful dispute, which pose a threat to the fighting. On the other hand, with the controversial resolution of US President Donald Trump to remove more than 2 million Palestinians from the Gaza and settled in the area, the future of the ceasefire was clouded. But Hamas said on Thursday that after talks with Egypt and Qatar officials, he would move towards the release of the hostages. The released (Palestinian) prisoners were welcomed by his relatives and supporters in Beetunia of the west coast.
