Press TV – Oct 24, 2023
The military wing of Palestinian resistance movement Hamas says it has released two more female captives on humanitarian grounds.
Abu Ubaida, the spokesman for al-Qassam Brigades, made the announcement in a post on his Telegram channel on Monday, saying, “We decided to release them on humanitarian and health grounds.”
Al-Qassam Brigades also said in a statement that the two Israeli women, identified as Nurit Yitzhak and Yochved Lifshitz, were released through Egyptian mediation, the Palestinian Information Center reported.
The statement added that these were the same two captives that Israeli authorities had previously refused to accept receiving them, accusing the occupying regime of ignoring the situation of its captives.
“We decided to release them for compelling humanitarian and medical reasons despite the occupation committing more than eight violations of the procedures that were agreed upon with mediators,” the statement said.
The official Egyptian news agency said on Monday evening that the two elderly female detainees, who were released by al-Qassam Brigades, had arrived at the Egyptian Rafah crossing.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said it had also helped with the case and the transportation of the women out of Gaza.
The Hamas movement had originally decided to free the two ageing women on Saturday. The spokesman for al-Qassam Brigades said in a short statement back then that “the occupation regime refused to receive them.”
The new development came after last Friday, the brigades freed two American detainees for “humanitarian reasons” through mediation of Qatari officials.
Following their release, Abu Ubaida said in a statement that the mother and daughter were set free “to prove to the American people and the world that the allegations made by (US President Joe) Biden and his fascist administration are false and have no basis in truth.”
He had previously said that the number of Israelis who have been captured during Operation al-Aqsa Storm, which started on October 7, is around 250. He noted that 200 of those captives were held by al-Qassam Brigades, while the rest were kept by other Palestinian resistance factions.
Hamas has already announced that the movement does not see civilians as bargaining chips, stressing that they would be released in due course when “field conditions allow.”
Operation al-Aqsa Storm was launched by the Gaza Strip-based Palestinian resistance movements on October 7 in response to the regime’s campaign of bloodshed and destruction against Palestinian people.
Following the operation, Israel began an all-out war on Gaza from air, sea and land. According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, the Israeli onslaught has so far killed over 5,000 Palestinians, including 2,055 children and 1,119 women. More than 15,000 people have also been injured.
“We is releasing hostages–take that, Israel!” How to make friends and influence people, when the default position is Hate, (because”God”)
Crisis actors. I’m sure they were paid handsomely in Shekels and a bigger dwelling in the kibbutz.
These two old senile yentas remind me of the late television charity commercial about old yentas starving in Russia. LOL!
Both the men are Israeli – Ashkenazi.. Look how pale their skin is on hands an through eye holes in hood. 15 years ago , there was a photo on line of a group of alleged Hamas members with black hoods and Arabic writing on them, marching down the street in Gaza or West Bank. One of them had the top of his shirt unbuttoned showing a star of david necklace around his neck. They always leave obvious clues revealing their deceptions , it’s part of their Satanic game. There are probably other clues in photo or video if anyone is interested in playing Where’s Waldo.

@ antiJHWH
Most Palestinians have brown or tan skin, not that white.. Israelis have been posing as Hamas for years I’m sure the comical video of Hamas fighters on hang gliders were created with Israeli actors too. It makes no difference in the end if they are Arab agents or Israelis .All these kidnapping narratives are staged with crisis actors and MSM bobbleheads continue to spew their lies portraying Israel as the victim , while they exterminate defenseless Palestinians .
How obvious, as if the Hamas would be toting dated Russian AK47’s. The certainly could not be seen toting the more state-of-the-art weapons they received from the Ukraine courtesy of the Mossad. Also, the granny “hostages” look very placid and content and not as if they have been traumatized after being kidnapped by those terrible “terrorists”, and hauled around Gaza in some cage on the back of a pickup truck. And where did they come from? A kubutz right next to the Gaza border, or out of some comfortable Tel Aviv apartment for the Mossad phot op?
Winston Churchill told servicemen in w w 2
that ” they would come home after the war to a land of milk and honey with jobs and homes for all” But when the men were being demobbed the government said,
” we do not have enough jobs for you all but we will give you for just £10 assisted passage to Australia where there is work”
A lot of men then left the UK
Next thing was the government advertised in the West Indies for black folk to come do the jobs Englishmen did not want, and were too lazy to do.
THis caused uproar with the men who had just fought the governments racist war
to now be victims of racism themselves
And a group of ex servicemen including a Military Medal winner stsrted the National Front
movement, they wanted no jobs and homes just held for the new migrants
the fact they were black was beside the point
the government is and always has been racist
