Three hostages, Sagui Dekel-Chen, Sasha Alexander Troufanov, and Iair Horn have emerged from a white van to cheers from the crowd and are seen on stage with fighters holding weapons. They are in better shape compared to previously released hostages, sparking anger and dismay in Israel. The Red Cross is also present on stage signing documents, as seen in previous releases. Meanwhile, an armed convoy arrives at the hostage release site in Khan Younis.
Friends and family of Sagui Dekel-Chen have gathered in Giv’ot Bar to watch his release, wearing T-shirts with his face on them and watching the release live on Israeli television. Palestinian fighters have gathered at the release location alongside civilians eagerly awaiting the release of the hostages. Hamas has also set up banners and flags at the square.
A banner at the event reads ‘no migration except to Jerusalem’, amidst controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s comments regarding taking over Gaza for development. A total of 369 Palestinian prisoners are set to be released in exchange for the three hostages today. Hamas has confirmed the release of the hostages according to the terms of the ceasefire agreement brokered with Israel. Sagui Dekel-Chen, an American-Israeli, is among those to be released, having been kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz.
