The second three Jewish hostages were released on Sunday by the Hamas criminal organization following previous week’s ceasefire agreement that came amid President-elect Donald Trump’s risk that there would be “ALL HELL TO PAY” if Hamas did not release the hostages due to his opening.
Fox News reported that Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher, and Emily Damari were released to the Israeli Defense Forces on Sunday after being held hostage by Hamas extremists for 471 weeks following the terrorist attack against Israel on October 7, 2023. The outlet noted that the three sexual victims were transported to Israeli Defense Forces in Red Cross cars as part of the first step of the peace and prisoner trade deal between Israel and Hamas.
According to Fox News, during a call with Israeli Defense Forces Coordinator Brigadier General ( Res. ) Gal Hirsch, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “These three people have endured unfathomable darkness. Now, they step into the light, free at last, thanks to the noble sacrifices of our men. We will not cease until every last prisoner is returned. ”
