Hopefully there is one hostage tonight, but as we know lies have been told before.

It has been confirmed that one hostage was brought home
he is Tal Haimi 41 taken from Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak.

May he now rest in peace.

I just read that his last child was born after he was murdered.

If I am not stepping on any toes, I am happy / willing to update later if there is a hostage release.
I am very aware that currently I seem to be dominating this thread and do not wish to cause any upset.

No hostage release last night, maybe just maybe there will be one tonight...

“Israel is again preparing for the possibility that Hamas may return the bodies of two deceased hostages tonight, The Times of Israel has learned.
Hamas has yet to announce that it intends to return any bodies of hostages to Israel today.
Yesterday, after some initial speculation, Hamas did not return any bodies to Israel.
Currently, the bodies of 13 dead hostages remain held in Gaza.”

i guess it’s wait and see

Reuters have reported that Hamas military wing have said they will release the body of another Israeli hostage tonight 🙏🏻

The BBC are reporting that the Red Cross has received a coffin Hamas says contains the body of another deceased hostage.

Someone is now safe in the hands of the IDF and is now back in Israel.

I'm very sorry to say that the formal identification process of the body returned last night seems to suggest that the remains do not belong to any of the 13 captives still held in Gaza after all.
