Hamas Says it Releases Two Female Captives for Health Reasons
Channel News Asia ^ | 24 Oct 2023

The armed wing of the Palestinian Hamas militant group said on Monday (Oct 23) it had released two more female civilian captives on health grounds in response to Egyptian-Qatari mediation efforts, and a source told Reuters they were elderly Israelis.

Abu Ubaida, spokesman for the armed wing, said in a statement on Telegram: "We decided to release them for humanitarian and poor health grounds." It named the two as Nurit Yitzhak and Yocheved Lifshitz.

The armed wing released an American mother and daughter, Judith and Natalie Raanan, on Friday, nearly two weeks after Hamas gunmen carried out an Oct 7 cross-border assault, killing 1,400 people and taking more than 200 hostages.

One story said US demanded Israel delay the invasion so some hostages could be let go.

That could go on a long time. Iranian US embassy hostages were held for 444 days.

Karine (soon) : Uh, next question. Why are you even asking that when I already told you everything? Your credentials are history. This event is over. Thanks for coming today. Good bye.

This will go on as long as it takes to ensure Pedo Joe is reelected. Then everyone involved will shout that Pedo Joe has brokered a lasting peace (that will only cost the American taxpayers 100 billion dollars...)

They released them for humanitarian reasons. So, why did they take them in the first place?

Release them all, Hamas, completely disarm and repent, then maybe Israel will not destroy what remains of your terrorist cities.

Kidnapping and holding hostage two old grannies makes Hamas look really tough, no? Islamist are morally bankrupt. They do not even see how bad this looks.

What kind of man does that? Answer: a worthless one.

Gaza has to be treated as Japan at the end of WW2. All weapons surrendered or destroyed, all armed forces disbanded, leadership dead or incarcerated.

It’s so ridiculous that hostages are released and the attackers expect to be praised for their compassion and humanity. Insanity.

Were they shocked when the women began to bleed but had no wounds. They probably figured they were witches.

Not a good example. The US let a lot of Japanese who committed horrible atrocities skate. Like they did with dedicated German war criminals like Von Braun.
