About 10 Israeli hostages who were being held in Gaza were handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross late Wednesday evening, Israeli Army Radio reported.
Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid Al-Ansari said on the X platform (formerly Twitter) that “the released Israelis detained in Gaza include 5 minors and 5 women, including dual nationals: a Dutch minor, three Germans, and one American woman,” noting that in exchange for these, the Qatari Foreign Ministry will be released. Israel releases 30 Palestinian prisoners.
The ten Israeli hostages and four Thais who were released by Hamas from the Gaza Strip arrived in Egypt on Thursday evening, according to the Cairo News Channel.
The Israeli army, for its part, confirmed that the released hostages were “on their way to Israel.”
Earlier on Wednesday, two Russian women who were detained by the Hamas movement arrived in Egypt, after their release from the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, after crossing the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza, according to what Egyptian official television reported.
Hamas said in a statement that it handed over both Yelena Trubanov (50 years old) and Irina Tati (73 years old) to the International Committee of the Red Cross. On Sunday, it released Ron Krivoy, a 25-year-old Russian Israeli, “in response to the efforts of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and in appreciation of the Russian position in support of the Palestinian cause,” according to what Agence France-Presse reported.
