Four more Hostages Released Saturday
This is a news briefing from Sally Shiff in Israel:
Yesterday was a day mixed with trepidation and ultimately joy. We know that "cease-fires" with our enemies are often broken at the last minute thus costing the lives of our people. So when four hostages were announced as being released, we could not really "breathe" until they crossed back into Israel.
Instead of sending civilians (non-military) women first, Hamas decided to parade and bring back 4 women IDF. The promised civilian that was supposed to be part of the group was not on the list, and not released. (Thus once again breaking the rules of the cease-fire).
We are ecstatic that these four warriors are back and appear to be safe and sound. [Below is a video of their return and embracing families.]
