As the IDF entered Rafah, a significant development has unfolded in the ongoing conflict. Hamas has agreed to a hostage deal that proposes the release of 33 hostages, including those alive and deceased. This agreement comes as Israel continues its military operations in the region, demonstrating the complex dynamics at play. The proposed exchange includes the release of women, female soldiers, children under 19, adults over 50, and individuals suffering from illnesses. In return, Hamas has requested the release of Palestinian prisoners, in accordance with the different categories of hostages. Despite Hamas's acceptance of a ceasefire proposal in Gaza, IDF operation continues. As of this morning, Israeli forces have taken control of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing. The situation remains highly uncertain. Now, more than ever, Zaka Tel-Aviv's role is crucial in providing support to the people of Israel during these tense times. |
