Three Americans — including a 4-year-old whose parents were slain by Hamas — are are expected to be among 13 hostages released by Gaza Sunday, marking the first time US citizens would be released since a delicate cease-fire was struck up between the terror organization and Israel.
Two unidentified women and Abigail Mor Edan, a young girl who turned 4 alone in captivity on Friday after becoming an orphan in the deadly Oct. 7 incursion, were set to be freed, senior US officials told CNN.
President Biden on Friday had expressed hope that the young Israeli-American girl would be among those released this weekend, telling reporters, “I’m keeping my fingers crossed.”
Abigail had been snatched by Hamas after fleeing her home on Kibbutz Kfar Aza where her father Roy Edan, 43, a photojournalist, and mother, Smadar Edan, were killed during the Oct. 7 attack.
Her older siblings, 6 and 10, were able to escape after hiding.
The young girl’s family had hoped she would be released ahead of her 4th birthday, which was Friday.

That poor little child. I pray they will all be released and can all heal from the horrors they have experienced.
We have a FReeper here, Jewbacca, who posted pretty regularly but hasn’t been heard from since October 6. He is also an Israel FReeper. I’m worried about him.
Jewbacca, if you see this, please check in?
Agreed. He’s not responded to FReepmail since then.
The US is impotent. Begging for our own citizens instead of doing what is right.
“The US is impotent. Begging for our own citizens instead of doing what is right.”
I’m surprised you haven’t found a way to blame Trump for all this.
I just hope that the Israelis can photograph and facially id all of them and possibly mark them with RFID "dust"... then hunt them down like roaches..... all of them
It is astonishing to me that “Americans” support these evil, amoral scumbags in Hamas.
But they do.
“They’re already received that in the form of a “ceasefire”.”
That’ll also give the IDF a breather to regroup, resupply, and get more/better intelligence. When play resumes they’ll be able to continue whupping Hamas’ ass.
I’d like to pray for a miracle, 250 of them but I fear Israel must slaughter all of them and probably get few back. These evil mf’ers ...we need God to help big time.
I so want peace but we just keep getting wars and evil heaped upon evil.
Elections have consequences—especially 2020!
I’m alive.

And thank you.
Give ‘em hell and stay safe!
Our military policy under Biden amounts to "crossing fingers". wow, that's a relief.
Thank you.
I worry.
Carry on!
