This is running on Al Jazeera and others - apparently Israel refused to take back two hostages.

I hope you are right @Efacsen

After being held hostage for so many years, I’d assume they will be transported back to Gaza. Will there be any medical care available to them and are their families even still alive?

Might be wrong but don't think these people come from Gaza - they are from the West Bank

That really would be out of the frying pan into the fire

Yes most are from the West Bank and 6 from Jerusalem

Some very welcome news

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Daniel Hagari has held a news conference where he said the released hostages – 13 Israelis and 11 foreigners – have all undergone medical tests and are in good condition

They probably don't want to acknowledge they were holding children. The Israeli spokesman was very clear on the Sky interview that is was wrong to call 14 year old Palestinian's children, they are minors.

Efacsen · 24/11/2023 19:16

Celebrations have been taking place in the West Bank following the release of 39 Palestinian women and children detainees from Israeli jails.

Lots of photos of lots of flags being waved [which is forbidden] by young blokes - there's a high risk of the released prisoners being re-arrested as has happened with previous releases/exchanges

This is how it happens Sad

Photos are top of the Guardian live-feed @ketchup07070

I think we’d agree @Iwasafool I don’t think many of us need to be told what a child is.
Who gives a s… what they think, let’s be honest. We are a democracy we can work it out for ourselves.
The arrogance is astounding.

Sky reporting they are being taken into West Bank.

Alex Crawford did a heartbreaking piece this morning about the state of some of the injured Palestinian children, she quoted a child with his skull fractured and the wound infected and worms crawling out of his brain, children with two broken legs, children being operated on without anaesthesia. She said some of these children are now orphans so not even got a parent to comfort them. I can't believe this is the 21st century.

So someone has worms crawling around in their brain while still alive? I can't seem to find this report anywhere

No indication of what they did. I'll have to look them up individually.

Guardian is reporting womens offences 'some accused attempted murder of Israeli soldiers' and the teenage boys 'mainly stone throwing'

Or do you need the exact details?

It was on Sky news, Alex Crawford is a very good reporter. I think a wound that has "live stock" is normally maggots but I suppose that could be lost in translation. Actually I think sometimes maggots are used to clean wounds so maybe not as bad as it sounds.

Trulywonderful · 24/11/2023 20:06

One Palestinian man released Hamas declared had been killed in Gaza bombing days ago. He has actually been in an Israeli Jail for quite a while

One old lady hostage released Hamas had declared was dead after a bombing too

Seems Hamas have just been declaring people dead if not sure where they are or something, weird.

I can't find the report, and this story sounds completely made up.

Yes I do. Since so many people seem to deny they basically never did anything.

What about children with broken legs and children having surgery with no anaesthesia or some of these children being orphaned?

I don't know if Sky will repeat the report, they often do but I suppose today and for a few days it will be the release of the hostages and prisoners.

I hope you aren't accusing me of making it up. I'm ill in bed so I've been listening to it since about 6 am because I couldn't sleep.

Yes doctors reported this a while ago aswell.

I assume with so many missing, buried without being identified and many still under the rubble in the middle of all the bombings and shootings it’s almost impossible to be accurate.
Good to know they are alive, even though their families may have thought they were dead….must be a real blessing given what everyone is going through.

Tomorrow's hostage list has apparently been released now and there are more children on it. No further details have been given out publicly.
