Gaza Strip
Jerusalem announced it will not allow passage to the northern Strip until civilian hostage Arbel Yehud is free, as required by the ceasefire deal.
“The region is safer when Israel has what it needs to defend itself,” tweeted Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar.
The agreement required Hamas to provide Jerusalem with the status of the remaining 26 hostages set to be freed in the first phase of the deal.
“You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, ‘You know, it’s over,’” said the U.S. president.
The troops, all members of the Egoz commando unit, were evacuated to hospital for treatment.
“Movement of Gazans from the southern to northern Gaza Strip will not be permitted until Arbel Yehud is released.”
“An entire nation is shedding tears and rejoicing with you at this moment,” Israeli President Herzog tells the Albag, Ariev, Gilboa and Levy families.
In accordance with the ceasefire agreement, Jerusalem was set to release 200 Palestinian terrorists, many with blood on their hands.
“If it happened in Israel, and we weren’t prepared for it, it can happen to other countries too,” Yifat Bitton told JNS.
Danny Danon, ambassador to the world body, says while holding up a photo of a baby boy during a meeting about children suffering in Gaza: “Perhaps you have forgotten about little Kfir Bibas, but I promise you we haven’t.”
The Lebanese Army has not fully deployed in areas Hezbollah must leave under the ceasefire terms.
The terrorist group did not say whether it will honor its commitment to let Israel know who among the remaining abductees is alive.
