Israel and Hamas are going to proceed today to the fourth exchange of Israeli hostages with Palestinian prisoners following an agreement on January 19th for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

According to Reuters, Red Cross vehicles have reached Han Younes in view of the exchange.

Some of the three hostages released today will be delivered from Hamas to the Red Cross to Han Younes, while others will be liberated elsewhere by Hamas in the port of Gaza.

Among the three hostages to be released today is the father of the last two children held in the Palestinian enclave, a case that is causing strong reactions to Israel.

Yarden Bibas is to be released today, but his wife and their two children have not returned from Gaza And their fate remains unknown. Ofer Calderon, a French -Israeli, and Keith Siegel, an American Israeli will also be liberated.

Israel on his side will leave free 183 Palestinian prisonersaccording to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club, a non -governmental organization based in the occupied West Bank.

Fifteen hostages – ten Israelis and five Thai – and 400 Palestinian prisoners have already been released after the truce between Israel and Hamas has come into force after more than 15 months of war in the Gaza Strip.

During the six weeks of the first phase of the truce, a total of 33 Israeli hostages will be released, eight of which are dead, and about 1,900 Palestinian prisoners.

The fate of the Biba family causes anxiety in Israel. In 2023, Hamas had announced death in an Israeli blow to Siri Bibas and her two sons- KFP 2 years old today and Ariel, 5 years old- but Israeli authorities have not confirmed that they are dead.

“Hamas, where are the babies Babies?” He wrote on Friday in X the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
