Hamas launches 3 frail-looking Israeli captives for Palestinian detainees under Gaza ceasefire DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) - Hamas-led militants released 3 gaunt, frail-looking Israeli captives and Israel released almost 200 Palestinian detainees Saturday in the current exchange of a ceasefire that has stopped briefly 16 months of war in Gaza. The hostages ´ condition and scenes of Hamas forcing them to speak in a handover ceremony stimulated outrage in Israel and might increase pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to extend the ceasefire beyond its present six-week phase. Netanyahu has actually signified he would resume the war, even if that implies leaving dozens of hostages in captivity. "President Trump completely agreed with me: We will do whatever to return all the hostages, but Hamas will not be there," Netanyahu said after the exchange. Civilians Eli Sharabi, 52; Ohad Ben Ami, 56; and Or Levy, 34, were amongst about 250 individuals taken throughout the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, that triggered the war. Israelis' joy turned to shock and tears when they saw their emaciated state.
