Psychological terror: After 13 hostages were released last night (Friday) from the captivity of Hamas, the terrorist organization Hamas has now announced that it is delaying the release of the 13 additional abductees who were supposed to be released today and handed over to Israel.
"The al-Qassam Brigades have decided to postpone the release of the second round of hostages until Israel complies with the conditions, and agreements, concerning the entry of humanitarian equipment into the northern Gaza Strip, and until it complies with the agreed standards for the release of our prisoners," they said.
The Al Ekhbariya TV (Egypt) channel reported that Cairo is "making efforts" so that the second phase of the agreement between Israel and Hamas will be carried out today, and the captives will be released despite the delays initiated by Hamas.
The families of the hostages, who were on their way to the hospital to meet their loved ones, were informed of the delay.
