On Saturday night, an additional 13 hostages are expected to be released from Hamas captivity - but their release may be delayed.
Update: Israel just announced that if Hamas plays any games and doesn't release the rest within 5 hours the cease-fire will be over!
Hamas' military arm has now claimed that it decided to delay the release of the second group of hostages, until Israel "meets the terms of the agreement to allow humanitarian aid trucks into northern Gaza."
All aid enters Gaza through Rafah Crossing in the south, and from there can be brought to northern Gaza.
If the hostages are released, they are expected - like those released Friday night - to be brought to Rafah Crossing, and from there brought to Israel. Thirty-nine terrorists, who were already transferred to the Ofer Prison, are also expected to be released Saturday night.
Meanwhile, on Friday, the IDF and Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) said, "Today, 200 trucks with humanitarian aid entered Gaza via the Rafah Crossing and were delivered to international aid organizations working in the southern Gaza Strip."
"The video shows the convoy of trucks following a security inspection. The continued flow of humanitarian aid was approved by the government of Israel as part of the framework for the release of the hostages agreed with the United States and mediated by Qatar and Egypt."
you should fix the headline, hamas has been playing their games very good since at least the past year or two, and the israelis are just not getting it, seeing this prisoner release makes me very worried if 7/10 can't happen again
