At the Beitunia checkpoint, family and supporters stood in the pitch-black, waiting for the detainees to arrive.
Some called this a minor win in an increasingly dire scenario.
Mohammed Khatib declared, “It’s a sign of hope for Palestinians and Israelis that the ceasefire will continue and the killing will stop.”
He informed me, “We would have preferred this to have happened without the Hamas hostages, but Israel would not have allowed these people to be released without them.”
However as we reported earlier We are watching live videos of the Rafah border between Gaza and Egypt to see when the 13 hostages will arrive.
A lot of people are waiting and some trucks and cars have moved, but we’re still waiting for the handover to happen.
In Israel, families are going to hospitals to wait for their loved ones to come back. The hostages will be brought to the hospital after they are checked at an air base.
More update on this story soon…
