Ben Ami shared his message via recorded video at a rally for the return of all the hostages on Saturday at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv.

Israel Katz responded to the incident saying, ‘As I warned – if there are drones, there will be no Hezbollah. We will not allow a reality of drone launches toward the State of Israel.’

Hamas’s attempts to project strength only highlight their growing weakness and isolation in Gaza.

The hostages were held in extremely unhealthy environments full of lice, bedbugs, mold and mildew.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously told reporters that the Trump administration would be the most supportive US presidential administration to Israel

Hamas and PIJ released three hostages Saturday in accordance with the deal previously agreed to prior to Trump’s and Netanyahu’s declarations. 

Trump insisted his ultimatum was for the release of all hostages, not just the three Hamas released today.

Netanyahu attributed the eventual release of hostages to the support  from US President Donald Trump and “the concentration of our forces inside the Strip.”

One of the security prisoners released is Mazen al-Qadi, who was convicted of being involved in a 2002 terror attack in Tel Aviv during the Second Intifada.

Despite their stable condition, the hostages face a long psychological rehabilitation process.
