The First Group of Hostages Released Following Ceasefire Agreement
On Friday, 24 hostages were freed from their detainment. That number includes 13 Israeli, 10 Thai, and one Filipino citizen.
The names of all of the hostages were not released by the Israeli government. On video feeds, hostages Danielle Aloni and her daughter Emilia were identified.
The IDF has named the operation of receiving the hostages “Heaven’s Door.” Once the hostages are out of Hamas’s procession, Red Cross vehicles will take them to the Rafah Crossing. They will then be transferred and brought to an airbase in Southern Israel. There, the newly released hostages will receive quick physical and mental evaluations.
Once completed, they will be given phones so that they can call their families.
Each child hostage is assigned an IDF soldier that will accompany them back to Israel. When the soldier meets their child, they are told to uncover their faces and smile at them.
If the child asks them where their mother or father is, the soldier has been assigned to say “I’m sorry sweetie, I don’t know, my job is to bring you to Israel to a safe place where people you know can answer all your questions.”
Many of the children who were taken do not have parents to return home to.
The release of 12 Thai citizens is due to a deal that was brokered by Iran. Qatar and the United States brokered the deal to release Israelis.
Hamas and Israel have agreed to a four-day ceasefire. During this time, the terrorist group will free 50 women and children that were taken on October 7th from their homes. In exchange, Israel will release 150 prisoners. Many of these prisoners are being held in Israel on attempted murder charges.

How are the released hostages being transported from Gaza to Israel?
The First Group of Hostages Released Following Ceasefire Agreement
On Friday, a total of 24 hostages were freed from their detainment, marking a significant step towards peace and resolution in the Israel-Hamas conflict. This group of hostages includes 13 Israeli, 10 Thai, and one Filipino citizen. The names of all the hostages have not been disclosed by the Israeli government; however, in video footage, hostages Danielle Aloni and her daughter Emilia were identified.
The release of these hostages is a result of a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel. After 48 days of gunfire and bombardment that claimed thousands of lives, a four-day truce began on November 24. As part of this agreement, 50 hostages were set to be released in exchange for 150 Palestinian prisoners.
The operation to receive the hostages by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has been named “Heaven’s Door.” Once the hostages are out of Hamas’s procession, Red Cross vehicles will transport them to the Rafah Crossing in the Gaza Strip, from where they will be flown to Israel. They will then be transferred to an airbase in Southern Israel, where they will receive quick physical and mental evaluations.
After the evaluations, the newly released hostages will be provided with phones so they can contact their families. Additionally, each child hostage will be accompanied by an IDF soldier who will ensure their safe return to Israel. When the soldier meets their assigned child, they are instructed to uncover their faces and smile at them. In case the child inquires about the whereabouts of their parents, the soldier is given the response, “I’m sorry sweetie, I don’t know, my job is to bring you to Israel to a safe place where people you know can answer all your questions.”
It is important to note that many of the children who were taken as hostages do not have parents to return home to. This highlights the dire and complex situation faced by these innocent victims.
The release of 12 Thai citizens is a result of a deal brokered by Iran, while Qatar and the United States played a crucial role in brokering the deal to release Israeli hostages. The ceasefire agreement also entails the release of 50 women and children who were taken from their homes on October 7th by Hamas. In exchange for their release, Israel will release 150 prisoners, many of whom are currently held on attempted murder charges.
This breaking news continues to unfold, and updates are expected. It is crucial to stay informed and aware of the developments in this situation as it progresses towards a potential resolution.
