GAZA, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Two American hostages freed on Friday by the armed wing of Hamas were identified as Chicago-area residents Judith Tai Raanan and her daughter Natalie Shoshana Raanan, who Israel said were en route to a military base in central Israel to be reunited with family. ……..

Hamas has said it took about 200 hostages during a deadly Oct. 7 rampage carried out from the Gaza Strip on communities and military bases in southern Israel, part of the bloodiest attack on the country since the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.

The Iranian-backed militia has said 50 more captives are held by other armed groups in the coastal Palestinian enclave. It said more than 20 hostages have been killed by Israeli air strikes, but has not given any further details.

Israel will act regardless of outside political maneuvering or what the press reports.

May it be so, soon.

President Biden was asked by a reporter if he wants Israel to delay the ground invasion since 2 hostages were released? He answered yes.

Later his staff said Biden didn't hear the question correctly.
