A deal between Israel and Hamas to exchange Hamas hostages held in the Gaza Strip for Palestinian prisoners includes three US citizens, including a three-year-old girl, a US official said.
According to the official, the parents of this child – he clarified that his first name is Abigail -, who will turn 4 on Friday, were among the 1,200 people who lost their lives in the Hamas raid against sectors of the Israeli territory on October 7, the deadliest attack since the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948.
Incessant Israeli retaliatory shelling of the Gaza Strip has since killed more than 14,100 Palestinians, including 5,840 children and more than 3,900 women, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
Under the deal, which was brokered by the US and Qatar, “more than 50” Hamas hostages, mostly women and children, are likely to be released, according to the same US official, who spoke on condition that he not be named.
He expects the first releases tomorrow Thursday morning. The agreement also provides for the distribution of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian enclave, he recalled.
