Red Cross receives 17 people in third group of Hamas hostages, IDF says

The Red Cross on Sunday was transporting another group of Hamas’s captives, the third of four groups planned to be exchanged for Palestinian prisoners in as many days, to Israeli authorities. Israel Defense Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari said the Red Cross, acting as an intermediary, was carrying 14 Israelis and three others. He did not provide other identifying details. Sunday’s trade went more smoothly than Saturday’s, when the release of hostages was delayed by seven hours after allegations from Hamas that, among other things, Israel was not allowing humanitarian aid to reach parts of northern Gaza. Israeli military leaders said that after the pause, they will resume efforts to eliminate Hamas and free remaining hostages.

***I cannot imagine what physical, mental, and psychological abuse they endured.***

It reminds me of The Council House Fight, often referred to as the Council House Massacre in 1840 San Antonio.

The Comanches brought in their captives to trade, all went well until it was found the captive, Matilda Lockhart, a 16-year-old girl who had been captured with her younger sister in 1838. had been raped, beaten and had her face burned off.
Then the peace conference went to hell in a handbasket.

wonder why Hamas didn’t demand the Red Crescent instead of Reds Cross...

Was the release of US POWs from North Vietnam televised? I can’t remember, other than a lot fewer came home than were known to have been alive in Communist custody.

Not much to see. Hostages are driven in Red Cross vehicles over the border to an air force base to get medical exams and reunions with relatives.

Seems like plenty of photos. Might be security reasons for not allowing unedited video. Israeli officials have been stressing hostages’ privacy. Likely the ones in best shape go public first on their own decision.

Oh, he’s been heard from -— he said today he “wants the cease fire to be extended so more hostages can get out and more humanitarian aid can be given Gaza”. He’s fooling no one.

What is the live thread for?   I don't see a source of information there either.

[higgmeister]

It looks like almost all children.

Obama is his supervisor. Hard to say who is the boss.

If they can find them. How do you know the children haven't been sold in Eritrea or Mauritania?

Boy howdy!

Senator McCain pushed to defund any attempt to locate missing POWs.

What stories could they have told about Songbird?

This is Biden‘s hostage crisis, 24 x 7, and now counting 50 days. Hamas is now releasing a trickle of hostages, doesn’t undo the barbaric behavior. They undertook in murdering, raping, and taking people hostages. Israel is working hard to get hostages back, unlike Biden. This hostage crisis is 24 x 7 and deserves alive thread. You can go find all the media sources you want, probably not on, CNN and MSNBC.

have you read something that says this is not an issue, something that suggest that it should be ignored, that we should forget about Americans, being murdered, raped, and held hostage?

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Imagine that a family disappeared on Oct 7 in the attack. IDF goes to all the neighbors to ask what happened but the neighbors disappeared too. But even if you find the neighbors, they say this family was probably incinerated but the truth is, actually saw some people being blown up but they are not sure which people.

Israeli authorities who are trying to keep track of people who disappeared (when Biden characters are not hassling them) may have to guess, and they write that in the report.

Later Hamas says they have returned "all the hostages." And that's what the media reports. In war, they report numbers for dead/wounded/missing. Sometimes the dead and wounded are the lucky ones.

[IYAS9YAS]

When will they send the bills to the victims for the transportation costs? Screw the Red Cross.

[higgmeister]

We all know what happened.   I was only questioning why you would create a thread without including any information?   Without source information it is just a silly vanity.   You might notice that I did add a source of information here.   I thought you could have too.

[higgmeister]

Thanks for that.

What a candy ass sad excuse for a so called president. A real man/leader..Reagan or Trump type would have told hamas and the pali’s to turn over all hostages on day one, our we and the IDF would go , “Full Lemay” on Gaza. These jack-offs are savages and must be eliminated...not negotiated with.
What do we do?...give billions to the sponsors of hamas. This has obama written all over it...brandon sits around reading “Boys Life” while our country is subjected to one humiliation after another.

Truly pathetic times we live in...
