Jens Laerke, spokesman for the United Nations humanitarian agency, OCHA, expressed hope in Geneva that the pause “leads to a longer-term humanitarian ceasefire for the benefit of the people of Gaza, Israel and beyond.” The family members of people taken hostage by Hamas and other groups were bracing for days of whipsaw emotions as captives are released, but perhaps not their own loved ones.
There may be variations and additions to these rules. For example, if players who are sitting down, because they are "out", are able to catch a throw, then they may re-enter the play. [2] If the ball is tossed inaccurately or in an aggressive manner, then the person who threw the ball is "out". Other adaptations include disallowing players from returning the ball to the players from whom they have immediately received it (except in cases where only two players remain in the game) imposing time limits on how long players may hold the ball before being required to pass it and the teacher of the class joining in. Only medical screenings, the hostages would be allowed to call their families, by phone or video link. Counselors would be present to assist with the conversations – a particular concern for hostages who will be learning of the deaths of loved ones. By the time darkness fell in Beitunia, anticipation had turned the atmosphere electric. Finally, the prisoners were released. One by one, the boys were hoisted onto the shoulders of young men in the crowd and carried toward the municipality building. They wore gray prison uniforms, and were draped in the bright green banners of Hamas.In the West Bank, a euphoric crowd greeted the Palestinian captives released by Israel. Video posted on social media showed children in Gaza running with what appeared to be pleasure rather than fear. Israeli warplanes dropped leaflets warning people that the war is not over and it is “very dangerous” to return north, the focus of Israel’s military campaign. Doron Katz Asher, a 34-year-old Israeli-German citizen, and daughters Raz, 4, and Aviv, 2, were kidnapped from a kibbutz in southern Israel on Oct. 7. Chen Dori-Roberts said he spotted his cousin Friday in footage of ambulances leaving Gaza but didn’t celebrate until her release was confirmed by Israeli officials.
Israel’s justice ministry this week published a list of roughly 300 Palestinian prisoners who could be released. Family members scoured social media Friday for news their loved ones were among those freed. Today is not going to be an easy day,” Agmon said. “We will begin the day hoping that we will really see a good picture at the end of the day.”Sep 24 John Brunner, Britsih sci-fi author (100th Millennium), born in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, England (d. 1995) The agreement came after weeks of talks involving Israel, Palestinian militant groups, Qatar, Egypt and the United States.

There are children with parents that have died or were murdered,” Ziv Agmon, an adviser to the head of the National Public Diplomacy Directorate of Israel, told reporters Friday. “And because there was no connection with the hostages, we don’t know what they know and what they don’t.” Then hostages would be transported to hospitals for private reunions with loved ones. Male and female physicians, including pediatricians, gynecologists and psychiatrists, would be standing by.
The students are usually the players while the teacher is usually a referee though it is semi-common for the teacher to join as a player. In some instances, the teacher is allowed to cheat in the game.The Palestinian militant group’s armed wing said the issues of aid deliveries to the northern Gaza Strip and the selection criteria for prisoner releases were holding up the handover. The Israeli military would take custody of the hostages and verify their identities, he said. A physician would examine each and administer immediate aid as necessary.
Thirteen Israeli hostages – women and children ranging in age from 2 to 85 – were turned over by Hamas to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), which transported them from Gaza into Egypt to be flown to hospitals for private reunions with loved ones. They were the first of 50 Israeli women and children to be released in exchange for 150 Palestinian women and children held in Israeli prisons over the next several days. Sep 23 John Mortimore, English soccer defender (Chelsea 249 games) and manager (Portsmouth, Benfica, Real Betis), born in Farnborough, England (d. 2021) Israel warned Gazans not to treat the pause as a return to normal. Minutes before it began, the military dropped leaflets and sent voice texts saying “the war is not over” and forbidding those who had fled south to try to return to their homes in the north.Sep 25 Struther Arnott, Scottish molecular biologist and chemist (cancer research), born in Larkhall, Lanarkshire (d. 2013) Everybody’s celebrating right now,” said Dori-Roberts, 46, a live event producer in Austin. “But we know there’s still a lot more hostages.” Sep 24 Manfred Wörner, German general and Secretary-General of NATO (1988-94), born in Stuttgart, Germany (d. 1994)
