Israelis held hostage (part 2)

[StarbucksSmarterSister]

Continuing

Probably a good idea. I suggest it's made clear it's not a continuation of thread 1 , and is only to discuss hostages held in Gaza. I will set one up regarding the topics we were discussing on thread 1, maybe?

A priority, I would like to think.

More good news

IDF says 14 Israeli hostages and three foreign nationals transferred to ICRC

The Israeli army says that, based on information it has received from the Red Cross, 14 Israeli hostages and three foreign hostages have been transferred to the Red Cross.

BBC Breaking News

The Red Cross do a Sterling job. They really do.

Oops, sterling I meant. Post edited.

Are there more hostages due for release tomorrow?
Is the plan daily release until all are free again?

Saw this on twitter but I don’t know if it’s a verified list :

1. Abigail Idan, 4
2. Ella Elyakim, 8
3. Dafna Elyakim, 15
4. Hagar Brodetz Ama, 40 and her children
5. Ofri Brodetz, 10
6. Yuval Brodetz, 8
7. Oriya Brodetz, 4
8. Chen Goldstein, 48 and her children
9. Agam Goldstein, 17

10. Tal Goldstein, 9 11. Gal Goldstein, 11 12. Alma Avraham, 84 13. Adrian Aviva Siegel, 63

Thought there were 14 though

I think BBC made a mistake - everyone else is still saying 13

Israeli news reporting 13 Israeli, 3 Thai and 1 Russian hostage.

Care to elaborate?

The thread has got back on track. Can we please keep it that way.

Sorry - it was a play on words - you said "inflame" which suggests heat so I continued the idea and hoped you had " cooled down".
No offence meant and I sincerely apologise.

One of them is that little girl who ran to her neighbours covered in her father’s blood.

I wish nobody would argue on this thread. It’s just a microcosm of what is happening. Please just stop.

Oh no 😢. What she must have seen and been through.

Sure - except that I wanted to call out the implied threat. Am I supposed to just ignore it?

Oh I hope it is! I follow Maayan Zin on Twitter ( Dafna and Ella's mother). She hasn't posted anything yet today.

Thanks Stormy.

Seen the same list in a few other places I follow.Nothing confirmed in Israeli media yet, they are waiting every day for the hostages to be reunited with family first before releasing the names publicly.

I think the Brodetzs are the neighbours that Avigail ran to.

Still no baby Kfir or his brother and mother. ☹ I I suspect Hamas will consider him to be one of the most important hostages and will keep him longer.

confirmed by Jerusalem post: Avigail Idan, three years old; the Brodutch family: Hagar (40), Ofri (10), Yuval (8) and Uriah (4); Ella and Dafna Elyakim, eight and 15 years old; the Almog-Goldstein family: Chen (48), Agam (17), Gal (11) and Tal (9); Elma Avraham, 84 years old; Aviva Siegel, 64 years old.
i think the 14th hostage is a dual Israeli Russian citizen hence confusion.

Thanks for that. Selection of ages of hostages then.

Some good news.

Avigail must be so confused wondering where her parents are.
