Jan 30, 2025, 08:17 AM
Hamas has handed over 19-year-old Israeli soldier Agam Berger to the Red Cross in the Gaza Strip's Jabalia camp, marking the first of eight hostages set to be released on January 30, 2025, as part of a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel. Berger, who was abducted on October 7, 2023, and held for 482 days, was transferred near the Kamal Adwan hospital in Jabalia in a public ceremony amidst the ruins. The release is part of a broader deal that includes the liberation of two more Israeli hostages, Arbel Yehud and Gadi Moses, and five Thai captives later in the day. In exchange, Israel is expected to release 110 Palestinian prisoners.
