Hi,
On the first day of the cease fire, one of the hostages that were released in the hostage deal was Yaffa Adar.
It was clear she was hostage and not dead, as she was pictured being kidnapped on her mobile scooter to Gaza strip on the Black Sabbath (07.10.2023). She was smiling, even enjoying the ride, ignoring the fact those are Hamas terrorists were holding the wheel on their way to Gaza, and not one of her 8 grandchildren in Sabbath morning
This woman, who passed all Israel wars, on the age of 85 years old, came back after 49 days on Hamas captivity and smiling safe at home.
Yaffa Adar kidnappers were killed if you wondered, and she was back at home. Another war to the list of this amazing woman.
Today hostages release is still on hold as Hamas suggest to release children without their parents, while the agreement was to do so. Yesterday release was already of a child without her mother (they were separated hours before the release).
The 11 hostages that will be released today are Nir Oz citizens. And still the 10 months old baby (Kfir Bibes), his 4 years old brother (Ariel Bibes) and their parents (Yarden and Shiri) will not be released. Hamas use them as war catch, passing them to other terror organization in Khan Yunis.
The cease fire, which is kept by both sides, might extend by 2 more days as Hamas announced it “managed” to find about 20 more hostages that can be released.
Take Care
