The first wave of hostages released by the terrorist organization Hamas started a four-day exchange that put an end to the violence in Gaza.
The Times of Israel reported on Friday that twenty-four hostages were taken out of Gaza through the Rafah border crossing, citing Israeli officials.
At least ten Thai citizens and thirteen Israelis were turned over to the care of Red Cross workers, who were observed transporting the people who had been saved by ambulance from Gaza into Egypt. It was then anticipated that the Israeli hostages would be flown to Israel for medical treatment at different hospitals.
Qatar, a key player in the cease-fire deal negotiations, said 24 hostages had been released in total, including 10 Thai citizens and a Filipino citizen. Earlier, the Thai Foreign Ministry had said that 12 Thai citizens had been released by Hamas.
Israel's government confirmed the names and ages of the Israeli hostages released:
Israel and Hamas have agreed to a four-day cease-fire during which the terrorist group will release 50 women and children taken in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel in exchange for 150 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.
The hostages will be released over a four-day period, beginning Friday, according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office.
Israeli leaders have vowed to resume the war once the cease-fire lifts.
"Israel will continue its war on Hamas and we will not stop until we achieve our two main goals, overthrowing the rule of Hamas and returning all the abductees back to us, safe and sound," Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said Friday as he toured Israel’s ravaged border areas with his counterparts from Portugal and Slovenia.
Officials have floated the idea that the cease-fire can be extended another day for each additional group of 10 hostages released.
Hamas terrorists are believed to have taken some 240 people captive in the Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel and are holding them in Gaza.
To date, there have been more than 1,200 Israelis reported killed by Hamas, while the Hamas-run Palestinian Ministry of Health is claiming nearly 13,000 civilians have been killed from Israeli military activity in Gaza.
