nThe delayed release of Israeli detainee Erbil Jews has sparked significant tension in the ongoing prisoner exchange between Israel and Palestinian resistance groups. A source from the Islamic Jihad movement revealed to Al-Modon that technical and security challenges were the primary reasons behind the postponement.The source explained that while four soldiers were released from the northern Gaza Strip, Erbil’s location—likely in the south—complicated the delivery protocol. ”The existence of Erbil has difficulty the possibility of resistance on a delivery protocol for three detainees in the north and another in the south,” the source stated, emphasizing the risk of exposing resistance plans and mechanisms.
The Al-qassam brigades,in coordination wiht the Al-Quds Brigades,decided to proceed with the release of the previous batch under a protocol based on detainees’ locations to avoid security risks. However, the resistance also sought to assert its control over the process, choosing detainees and delivery scenes as part of a “mutual challenge battle.” Despite this, israeli Prime Minister benjamin Netanyahu delayed the return of displaced Palestinians to the northern Gaza Strip until a “medium solution” was proposed: Erbil’s release next Thursday, alongside Israeli soldier Berger Agam and a third detainee.
This dispute underscores the complexity of the first stage of the prisoner exchange,with the element of surprise looming over negotiations. The second stage, set to begin on the sixteenth day of the truce, is expected to be even more challenging. Meanwhile, over a million displaced Palestinians are returning to the northern Gaza Strip, where they face widespread destruction. “We have a ‘mixed’ feeling,” one displaced resident told Al-Modon,expressing both joy and uncertainty about rebuilding their lives.
Israeli Army radio correspondent Doron Kadoush noted that Hamas has regained control of the northern Gaza Strip, making it “almost unfeasible” for Israel to resume fighting in the densely populated area. However, Hebrew reports suggest Israel may adapt its strategy, perhaps dividing the Strip into squares for targeted operations. As the situation evolves, the return of displaced Palestinians and the ongoing prisoner exchange continue to shape the future of the region.

The northern Gaza Strip,once a bustling hub of life,now lies in ashes and rubble. As displaced families contemplate returning, journalist Hikmat Youssef, speaking to Al-Modon, paints a grim picture of the challenges ahead. “the return of the displaced to the northern Gaza Strip will open large files,” Youssef explains, “most notably the reconstruction of the north, wich turned into ashes and rubble.”
The question looms: who will provide for the daily needs of these returning citizens? Will they remain dependent on the “cabin” and the assistance of international organizations? Youssef describes the situation as a new form of conflict—a “war of steadfastness.” With no clear entity capable of meeting the needs of those returning to areas “wiped from the map,” the future remains uncertain.
The ongoing siege of Gaza by land, sea, and air exacerbates the crisis. Youssef emphasizes that this blockade ensures the next phase in Gaza is shrouded in the “unknown.” The lack of unity between Hamas and Fatah further deepens the despair. “What strengthens the black reality we have in the Strip,” Youssef notes, “is that there is no partnership between the Hamas and Fatah movements.”
The journalist argues that the dispute between these two factions “kills the steadfastness of the Palestinian citizen.” Without an end to the division, Youssef warns, “we will remain in a dark and dark reality.”
