Hamas releases two more Israeli captives in Gaza as part of ceasefire

For 16 months we sought certainty, and now that it’s here, it brings no comfort, though we hope it marks the beginning of closure,

the family said

I’ll tell you, the way to do it is my plan. I think that’s the plan that really works. But I’m not forcing it. I’m just going to sit back and recommend it,

Trump said in a Fox News interview

This is an unforgettable moment, where all emotions are rapidly mixing together. Our Tal is with us,

Shoham’s family said in a statement, calling for a deal the be reached for the release of all those still captive

We see reinforcements from the Qassam Brigades in order to maintain order and safety of the process,

he reported, referring to Hamas’s armed wing

We say and continue to say that we are with the resistance, we are with the valiant Brigades, we are with the fighters."

Fidaa Awda, a resident of Rafah who attended the ceremony told AFP

Following the identification process at the Institute of Forensic Medicine, we received this morning the news we had dreaded — our Shiri was murdered in captivity and has now returned home to her sons, husband, sister, and all her family for rest,

the family said

Last night, our Shiri was returned home,

the Bibas family said in a statement Saturday local time through the Hostages and Missing Families Forum Headquarters, a group that represents the families of those in Hamas captivity

We did not hear any condemnation of these crimes from international officials and the official western media did not care about Palestinian human rights,

he added

During this time, there have been continuous efforts to secure his return, with prayers and pleas, some silent, that remained unanswered until today,

Mengistu’s family said in a statement released by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum

There is no forgiveness for abandoning them on October 7, and no forgiveness for abandoning them in captivity,

said Ofri Bibas, the sister-in-law of Shiri Bibas, in a statement

Kibbutz Nir Oz announces with deep pain and sorrow the murder of Shiri Bibas, of blessed memory, who was abducted from her home on October 7 and killed in captivity in Gaza,

the statement read

She will be laid to rest in Israel alongside with her two young sons,

it added

Benjamin Netanyahuisraeli Prime Minister

We will act with determination to bring Shiri home along with all our hostages — both living and dead — and ensure Hamas pays the full price for this cruel and evil violation of the agreement."

In a video statement, Netanyahu said

This is a violation of utmost severity by the Hamas terrorist organization, which is obliged under the agreement to return four deceased hostages,

the military said in a statement

I want those who have been captured to be released quickly. We are trying to pray that they will be released, not just the Israelis but also the remaining Thai,

Surasak said

I hope that those who are still inside remain strong. They will eventually be able to get out,

Surasak said

Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, in three days, next month,

At first, Surasak would ask his captors when he would be released – and they would assure him ... he said

I feel life is much more valuable now,

Surasak told CNN two weeks after his release, speaking at home in the northeastern Thai town of Ban Dung close to the Laos border

I was afraid that he might lose weight, not eat well, or have trouble sleeping,

she told CNN

I’m so happy and proud that my child has returned to be in our embrace once again,

she said
