After 477 days of captivity, Hamas has released four additional Israeli hostages as part of the ceasefire prisoner exchange agreement as previously reported.
Escorted by heavily armed Hamas militants, Daniella Gilboa, 20, Liri Albag, Naama Levy, and Karina Ariev, 20, were led to a platform.
The young women, all soldiers, were seized from the Nahal Oz military post on October 7.
They stood smiling in olive green faux military attire in front of a banner proclaiming Palestinian triumph over “Nazi Zionism.” Similar to the hostages posted above, they were carrying Hamas “gift bags.”
The Red Cross took custody of the women and transferred them to the IDF, which took them to a preliminary reception area where they were reunited with their mothers and relatives. Friends watching live on Israeli television expressed their happiness at seeing the women smiling.
However, the Hostage and Hostage Families Forum issued a statement emphasizing that the apparent joy may not be entirely authentic.
“Just reminding journalists covering the launch of today's hostage round, who appear to be smiling in the images circulating, that medical specialists reported that the hostages who returned in November, including young children, were drugged to keep them in a positive state upon his return. declared.
The transfer unfolded differently compared to last week, when Emily Damari, Doron Steinbrecher and Romi Gonen were handed over to the Red Cross amid a chaotic crowd and a significant delay. This time, the young women were released ahead of schedule.
The Prime Minister's Office issued a statement reaffirming its dedication to rescuing all hostages. “The government of Israel embraces the four returnees, IDF soldiers,” the statement said.
He added that while Israel would release the security detainees, the Gazans would be allowed entry into the Northern Gaza Strip until the female civilian Arbel Yehud, which was scheduled for release, is released.
The IDF's chief spokesperson, Admiral Daniel Hagari, also spoke on the matter.
“Today, we greet and hug them and their families as they reunite shortly after so long. We cannot and will not forget that 90 hostages, including women, children and elderly men, still remain in brutal conditions in Hamas,” Hagari said.

“We are determined to return Arbel Yehud, an Israeli citizen kidnapped from Nir Oz, and also Shiri Bibas and her two children, Kfir and Ariel, whose well-being we are very concerned about,” he added. Hagari extended gratitude to the United States, Qatar and Egypt for their help.
Today's hostages were released in exchange for 50 Palestinian detainees each due to their status as soldiers. Last week, there were 30 arrests per individual.
Twenty-six hostages are still scheduled for release in the coming weeks during the initial phase of the deal. This includes dual US-Israeli citizens, in exchange for numerous convicted people, some responsible for multiple murders.
Discussions for the second stage of the Israeli-Hamas agreement are expected to begin on the 16th day of the truce.
