4 Israeli Women Hostages In Military Outfit Freed By Hamas In 2nd Swap

Four female Israeli soldiers were released by Hamas today. They were brought in military uniform and made to stand on a podium and wave. They were handed over to Red Cross members and the vehicle has now left Gaza with the hostages.

The soldiers have reunited with their families in Israel, with crowds shedding tears of joy as they gathered to watch the release at a Hostage Square, a plaza in Tel Aviv.

Hamas had mentioned on Friday that they would release the four Israeli women soldiers who had been held hostage since October 7, 2023. This is the second exchange under the ceasefire deal between Israel and Gaza.

All four were taken captive from Nahal Oz military base, about a kilometre away from the Gaza border.
