The al-Ziadna family, whose two children, Bilal and Aisha, were kidnapped to Gaza, were informed today (Thursday) that they will return home this evening. Along with them, according to the agreement signed, 6 more Israelis are expected to be released.

Last night, after a long cabinet meeting, it was agreed on another day of respite in exchange for ten more hostages. The Prime Minister's Office updated this morning that notices were given to the families of the abductees who will be released today.

Yesterday, after 53 days in the captivity of Hamas, 10 hostages were released from Gaza as part of the sixth strike and were transported through the Rafah crossing to Israel. The release came after nerve-wracking hours when there were technical delays in the execution of the beat due to the talks regarding the extension of the outline in two days.

As part of it, Itai Regev (17) was released, and his sister Mia was released at the beginning of the week. Moran Stella Yanai (40), Raya Rotem (54), Raz Ben Ami (57), Yarden Roman (36), Liat Atzili Benin (49), Liam Or (18), Ofir Engel (18), Amit Shani (16) , Gali Tarshchansky (13). Earlier, the two kidnapped Russian citizens Irena Tati (73) and her daughter Yelena Trupanov (50) were released as a tribute to President Putin.
