The satellite channel «Cairo News» reported in a breaking news announcement this Monday evening, that the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, through Egyptian mediation, released the two detainees «Norit Yitzhak» and «Yukhved Lifshitz», noting that the occupation had refused since last Friday to accept their handover.

The statement said that we decided to release them for humanitarian and compelling health reasons despite the occupation committing more than 8 violations of the procedures that were agreed upon with the mediating brothers for the occupation to adhere to during this day to complete the handover process.

The satellite channel clarified the success of Egyptian efforts in releasing the two women in the Gaza Strip, as the detained women arrived at the Rafah land crossing.

The spokesperson for the Israeli forces revealed today, Monday, that 308 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the beginning of the "Storm of Al-Aqsa" operation.

He stated in his remarks that one of the objectives of the war is to recover the hostages, who number around 222 people, including foreign nationals, adding: "We will continue to work by every possible means to bring them back home safely," confirming that they had infiltrated Gaza at night to search for the hostages and eliminate the Palestinian resistance.

He added: "Members of the Hamas movement, which began missile attacks on Israeli settlements on the morning of Saturday, October 7, 2023, are gathering to set ambushes for our incursions while we bombard their gathering points."

The Israeli government spokesperson continued: "We have agreed to allow around 14 trucks of aid into the Gaza Strip after ensuring that they do not carry dangerous materials against us," pointing out that they have eliminated 20 locations belonging to «Hezbollah» and will continue operations in the north.

He concluded his remarks by saying that Israeli forces have eliminated 8 resistance cells that were attempting to launch rockets.
