Mia Schem was kidnapped along with her boyfriend Elia Tollerano during the rave at the Reim Festival. However, the boy would still be a Hamas hostage.
Hamas threatens “escalation”
The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas will last another day, but in reality the ceasefire is already at stake. In the statement in which Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack in Jerusalem, it called for an “escalation of resistance.” “This operation is a natural response to the unprecedented crimes committed by the occupiers in the Gaza Strip and against children in Jenin,” the statement said. Today an attack in Jerusalem left three people dead, including an 18-year-old girl, and six injured. Two attackers already convicted of terrorist offenses opened fire at a tram stop at the city’s entrance on Weizman Boulevard. The two attackers were killed. Meanwhile, this morning ten Israeli hostages and the four Thai workers who were due to arrive in Egypt from the Gaza Strip last night were handed over to the Egyptian security forces and the Red Cross this morning.
The Thin Truce
After mutual threats in the final hours of the night, the two contenders agreed today, November 30, to extend the stop. This is the seventh day of the ceasefire and the confirmation came from the IDF a few minutes before the deadline: “In view of the efforts of the mediators to continue the process of releasing the hostages, the operational pause will continue.” In return, Israel will release more Palestinian prisoners . Hamas also confirmed the agreement to “extend the ceasefire for the seventh day.” The radical organization had previously claimed that Israel had refused to accept seven women and children and the bodies of three other hostages in exchange for extending the ceasefire. Both sides had announced that they were ready to resume fighting.
Ceasefire and humanitarian aid
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry stated that the ceasefire in Gaza will be extended today “under the same previous conditions – namely the ceasefire and the provision of humanitarian assistance – within the framework of joint mediation between the State of Qatar and the Arab Republic of Egypt and the United States.” States of America.” Meanwhile, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reports that a 21-year-old died and six were injured in the West Bank region of Beitunia, near Israel’s Ofer prison. The young man was apparently hit in the chest by an Israeli army bullet during a raid in a neighborhood of the city. As part of the agreement with Hamas, Palestinian prisoners will be released from the prison west of Ramallah.
Ahed Tamimi
Among the hostages released yesterday is Ahed Tamimi, who was arrested in early November on charges of inciting terrorism. His name became known worldwide in 2018 when he slapped two Israeli soldiers. Tamimi was in prison because she was accused of writing an Instagram post praising the massacre of Israeli settlers in the West Bank: “We will massacre you and you will say that what Hitler did to you was a Joke was.” We will drink your blood from your skulls. The Tamimi family had claimed that Ahed did not write this post. Which was instead written by one of the many fake accounts that have appropriated the image of the young Palestinian passionate. Because of the soldiers’ slaps, Tamimi was sentenced to eight months in prison and a $1,200 fine. Amnesty International also called for his release at the time.
