Hamas should indicate the number of living and dead hostages on Saturday without specifying their identities

The terrorist organization Hamas is expected to give Israel the number of living and dead hostages on Saturday, rather than a complete list of names detailing everyone’s health, the Israeli channel reported Thursday evening Can, Citing an assessment carried out by Israeli security officials.

If these estimates are correct and no detailed list is provided, this means that the families of the hostages will not know what has happened to their loved ones. However, the figures provided by Hamas will allow the administration of kidnapped persons to compile an updated list of hostages, even if it can take time.

Hamas is expected to provide Israel on Friday the names of the four hostages who will be released on Saturday. The list will be sent by Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed Al-Thani to the chief of Mossad, Dedi Barnea. She should understand soldiers and civilians without knowing in what proportions. Israel is preparing for Hamas to return the observants in uniform, to emphasize that even if they were removed while they wore civilian clothes, they are soldiers.

As during the first phase of the agreement, the army intends to allow mothers of hostages to meet them immediately after their arrival in Israel. It should be noted that the release of Romi Gonen, Emily Damari and Doron Steinbrecher highlighted the fact that certain hostages served as human shields to senior Hamas officials during their captivity.

Israel demanded that Arbel Yehud be included in the list of hostages released on Saturday and sent a threatening message to Hamas, saying that if he does not respect the agreement, the inhabitants will not be allowed to return to the northern band from Gaza.
