Three Israeli hostages and five Thai nationals who were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists were released today following 481 days in captivity in the third hostage exchange under the Gaza cease-fire deal. The scenes coming out of Gaza are grotesque. Spine chilling.

Anyone who stands with these savages is an enemy of humankind. I am so sick the global west cheering these Islamic atrocities.
The ‘international community’s’ support of these monsters is a bloody indictment of the left’s moral bankruptcy and complete lack of humanity.
Gaza should be bombed into oblivion. They are no innocent civilians.
These screams. This hatred. And, jostled, almost lynched, a terrified young woman who spent 16 months in a tunnel, who sees the light of day again and who does not understand. Atrocious. Unforgivable. Hommage to Arbel Yehud. pic.twitter.com/iA3905kOhg

To all those in the west who have perpetrated the lie of Israeli genocide in Gaza for the past 15 months: look at the pictures of the mob surrounding the three Israel women hostages who were freed today, and see thousands of Gazans who are well-fed, well-groomed and well-dressed.
What do you have to say now about the murderous libel you have perpetrated against the Israeli victims of these people, the lie that the Israelis were deliberately starving them, that they were the victims of Israeli-induced famine, that the Jews were behaving like Nazis? Do you have a scintilla of shame or regret about what you have done in spreading this foul incitement? Do you even understand what you saw today? (Melanie Phillips)

This is not a hostage release, it is an exercise in torture.
First footage of Israel civilian hostage Arbel Yehud absolutely surrounded by Islamist terrorists and thousands of Palestinians in a mob.
It is absolutely appalling that the Red Cross and any of the other mediators… pic.twitter.com/hqWC6f15Cr

One WOMAN. Not a soldier. Just a JEWISH woman.
Arbel Yehud, alone, 481 days and nights in Hamas captivity.
A Jewish woman who’s name was never mentioned by ANY Women’s Rights org – and that includes @unwomenchief -,women’s magazines,celebrities, feminists. Zero, nada.… pic.twitter.com/O5St9sW0WH

⚠️This is Khan Yunis right now, as hundreds of murderers and savages are surrounding a car with an innocent Israeli female hostage. Imagine for a second how afraid she must feel right now. My heart goes out to Arbel Yehud in those dark moments.

As you see these images of Arbel Yehud and Gadi Moses, remember these were civilians dragged from their homes on October 7th. Not soldiers at a base, but a woman and an old man. They lived in Nir Oz, a community filled with peace activists.

80 year old hostage Gadi Moses was paraded by terrorists through the center of a mob in Gaza before being exchanged for Palestinian convicts.

As with the previous exchanges, the hostages were forced to join the Hamas parade celebrating the hand-off, with the hostages now en route to meet with Israeli soldiers to escort them home.
Berger, 19, was the last female IDF soldier in Hamas captivity after the terrorists freed four of her colleagues last week, all of whom were kidnapped from a southern military base during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack.

The troops were featured in cruel propaganda video touting their capture as the bloodied women were surrounded by the bodies of their fellow soldiers, with the terrorists threatening sexual violence against them.
Joining Berger is Yehud, whose surprise exclusion from last week’s exchange threatened to sink the cease-fire deal as it was agreed that female civilians would be freed before soldiers.
After 482 days: Arbel, Gadi, and Agam arrive in Israel
Arbel Yehud and Gadi Mozes, along with five Thai citizens, cross into Israeli territory after being released from Islamic Jihad captivity. Agam Berger, released from Hamas captivity, has reunited with her parents.

“The returning hostages are currently on their way to an initial reception point in southern Israel. The two returning Israeli hostages, Arbel Yehud and Gad Moshe Mozes, will be reunited with their families there, and the five foreign nationals – Thenna Pongsak, Sathian Suwannakhan, Sriaoun Watchara, Seathao Bannawat, Rumnao Surasak – will be met there by Thai government officials.”
