The next move is the expected release of first 90 out of an eventual 1000 Palestinians illegally detained by the IOF after October 7th.
However, many thousands of Palestinians will continue to be held illegally, without charge or with false charges after the 3 phase ceasefire plays out.
This and the continued occupation of Palestine is why I know the genocide isn't over yet and we still can't look away.
Dr. Louisa Baxter, a doctor working for Save the Children in Gaza, explains the work facing Gaza's social services. She estimates a minimum of 17,000 children have no family and will rely on the state and community for support. Given the sheer scale of the destruction of infrastructure she estimates that many kids will continue to die due to food shortages and illnesses. The hard fact is that for many Gazans, this ceasefire may still be too little too late to keep them alive.
Two hours ago the Israelis were seen moving prisoners from Ofer Prison who are expected to be released soon. There had been rumors Zionist settlers would try to protest at the prison to prevent the handoff. With even some family of the PoWs Hamas released urging the IOF to reneg on the deal since they got their family back already 🫠
Municipal employees were in Jabalia Camp clearing the roads today.
There are many videos coming out of people in Jabalia Camp and other areas of northern Gaza returning to the last place their friends and family were only to find bones.
Many photos of skulls with obvious gunshot wounds etc being posted.
The Al Qassam Brigades have posted their internal video from today's PoW release in the format of their typical field reports, this time its full of smiling faces and cheering crowds.
Look at the difference of Hamas pow releases vs Israeli prisoners. They come out healthy and still able to smile, the local civilians in Gaza cheer for their release and Hamas sends them off clothed and with snacks and certificates of the historic moment as souvenirs.
Israel waited until well after dark to begin delivering the first 90 female civilian hostages they abducted from Gaza.
Before the IOF hostages were released the Israelis shot tear gas at their waiting families.
In video the Palestinian hostages were finally released in Gaza at 1:19AM.
Hamas released their PoWs at 4pm, but the Israelis in an apparent effort to deter celebrations and media attention delayed their part of the deal until the middle of the night and shot teargas and flashbangs to keep crowds of families from receiving their loved ones.
The stories of the captives are gutting. Arrested a mother from the west bank and kept her in horrible condition for months for posting negatively about the Israeli genocide.
Separated from her newborn who developed ulcers and struggled to eat because she was exclusively breastfed before her mothers abduction by the evil Israeli regime.
One day in, Israel shot two people. A 15yr child and an adult who tried to drag him out of the line of fire.
The press is running with headlines saying that they boy posed a threat. Sadly there's tons of footage of the boy and young man being shot while clearly unarmed.
From the first night of the ceasefire Zionist settlers reacted by marauding through the West Bank. They set Palestinian owned homes and cars fire. All the while the zionist terror squads were reportedly under close protection of Israeli forces.
Another 15yr boy was shot in Sinjil Ramallah and 6 other Palestinians in the West Bank were injured by the rioting settlers

Instead of arresting the zionist attacking people in the West Bank, Israeli security forces rounded up Palestinians celebrating the start of the Gaza deal and arrested them.
Yesterday the Israelis released 90(out of a planned 1000 abductees) but arrested 60 people in the West Bank.
This may mark a shift in Israeli strategy towards "over policing" instead of all out genocidal military campaigns. Actively punishing the Palestinians they can more safely abuse for the ceasefire.
Palestinian politician Khalida Jarrar was among the prisoners released from zionist detention as part of the Gaza Deal.
Jarrar is a very notable politician as she played a critical role in the induction of Palestine into the International Criminal Court back in 2015.
Jarrar had been arrested many times for no reason. This recent time she was in solitary confinement for months in a room roughly 3ft by 3ft.
While it's easy to understand why politicians like Khalida Jarrar are persecuted by Israel it's important not to forget how arbitrary these detentions of average civilians are.
Another recently released hostage explains how the Israelis held her on charges which were kept a secret from her for her entire time in the Israeli torture camp. How is Israel a democracy if there is no rule of law and no due process in cases like this?
At every turn Israel is failing to stop the Palestinian liberation movement. Arbitrary jailing of random civilians and diligent politicians is all meant to undermine support for the legitimate and legal resistance of the Palestinian military.
The people can not be scared, tricked or tortured out of supporting their freedom fighters.
There's an absolute torrent of videos posted by civilians expressing love and adoration for the Al Qassam Brigades, who the IDF says they eliminated.
In more signs of support for Hamas there have been large funerals for Hamas freedom fighters whose bodies were recently recovered from what were just last week the frontlines of the resistance.
In addition reports communication lines between all of the Al Qassam Brigades factions and units have been restored and are being strengthed.
The Israelis are far from dismantling Gaza's government and military.
In more signs of abject IOF strategy failure in Gaza Hamas fighters report that they have begun collecting significant amounts of unexploded.
This is both an important operation for civilian safety and also a critical strategic operation which resupplies Al Qassam Brigades fighters with the materials needed to defend Gaza once again when the ceasefire fails.
An estimated ~10% of bombs dropped on Gaza do not explode, which is a staggering amount of free ammunition.
In another act of retribution for the start of the Gaza ceasefire IDF forces have restricted movement within the West Bank over the last 24 hours.
Civilians on the ground say this is the largest restriction in movement in recent memory.
These internal military checkpoints restrict freedom of movement between the cities of Ramallah, Hebron, Qalqilya, Salfit & Bethlehem.
Once day broke today Israel unleashed snipers in the West Bank city of Jenin, killing 9 Palestinians simply going about their day and wounding a further 98+ people.
These snipings occurred completely at random.
In this clip an elderly man cross a street as bullets land at his feet. Thankfully the sniper missed in this case.
Updated: The total dead and injured has continued to climb. 😢
Among the injured in Jenin today was a young child, a toddler. These genocidal creeps got forced into a ceasefire with Hamas and are taking it out on toddlers in the West Bank.
The Israeli "Operation Iron Wall” seems to be targeting medical staff in Jenin. The Director of Jenin Governmental Hospital told Al Jazeera that several nurses, doctors and other staff members had been injured by the IDF shootings in the West Bank.
In the video below a nurse can be seen running from IDF snipers, a man running in the same direction falls injured.
The death toll has now been increased to 9 dead and 98 injured in Jenin alone.
Whatever is happening in Israel, is not a ceasefire.
The second day of an increasingly genocidal military incursion into the West Bank city of Jenin continues.
The IOF demolished roads around the Jenin hospital and have littered the roads in and out of Jenin and other cities with new checkpoints.
Today a woman died of an otherwise survivable heart attack because the IOF would not allow medics transporting here through a checkpoint within meters of the Jenin General Hospital.
In one video a roving IOF patrol can be seen threatening ambulances, aiming machine guns with lasers in the direction of emergency services.
Throughout the West Bank gangs of zionist settlers have been burning Palestinian homes, cars and crops.
In a "leopards ate my face" moment a band of zionist settlers and Israeli cops got into a fight resulting in two zionist settlers getting shot by cops.
Palestinian sources suggest the cops and zionist mistook each other for Palestinians. It seems to be an accidental friendly fire mishap.
This accidental shooting of Zionist settlers at the hands of Israeli cops has enraged Israel's far right who held a protest of the accident in Jerusalem.
Naturally the fascist cops were doing cop shit and the Zionist seem to not like it when the boot kicks them.
In yet more challenges for Israel, a controversy was created when an American tourist carried out a stabbing attack in Tel Aviv yesterday. The American injured an IOF soldier who had reportedly already lost a limb participating in the genocide in Gaza.
This lack of internal safety and increasing mistrust of dwindling Western visitors is spurring investigations on how to prevent these sorts of attacks in the future.
I wonder if stopping the genocide will be considered? 🤔
Today Hamas and Yemen's Houthis announced the release of the crew of the Galaxy Leader. Hamas previously promised to have the crew released once a ceasefire could be reached in Gaza.
Today they made good on that promise.
The crew was made up of 25 Filipinos, Mexicans, Romanians, Bulgarians and Ukrainians who were all returned home by the Houthis once Hamas requested their release.
Attached: 1 video Yemen forces today released the crew of the Galaxy Leader vessel which was captured by Houthi forces last yr for enabling the genocidal state of Israel. The captive crew appeared to be in good health and spirits at the time of their release, unlike Palestinians held by Israeli forces. The Houthis held a ceremony to present the crew with souvenirs from Yemen and respectfully shock everyone man's hand and helped return them to their respective countries. #Yemen #Houthis #HouthiNavy #GalaxyLeader
Hamas in a statement released on Wednesday condemned the collaboration of the Palestianian Auhtorities with Israeli forces in the deadly attacks on Jenin.
Hamas decried the siege on Al-Razi Hospital and specifically called it a crime against the nation of Palestine when IOF forces carried out a shooting in the hospital while Palestinian Authority cops protected the occupation soldiers.

استنكرت حركة المقاومة الإسلامية حماس بأشد العبارات، تواصل نزيف الدم الفلسطيني على يد أجهزة السلطة في الضفة الغربية، والتي كان آخرها إصابة الشاب محمد شادي الصباغ من مخيم جنين، إلى جانب محاصرة مستشفى الرازي وملاحقة المقاومين، واعتقال المصابين، في سلوك يتجاوز كل الخطوط الحمراء والأخلاق الوطنية. وأكدت الحركة في تصريح صحفي اليوم الأربعاء، أن مشاهد […]
In an extremely embarrassing development for Israel Hussein Fayyad(aka Abu Hamza), commander of the Al-Qassam Brigade's Beit Hanoun battalion, was seen alive and well in Gaza giving a speech on Wednesday at a funeral.
The Israelis had believed and widely reported they killed Abu Hamza in May of last year so this is a shocking turn of events.
In his remarks Hamza spoke about the meaning of victory and describes the current situation as a defeat of the IOF.
Police in the Gaza strip announced the reactivation of police stations throughout the territory. They have staffed up the police forces and will be actively manning stations to respond to security incidents and other emergencies.
Imo Hamas is doing everything they can to very visible demonstrate that the organization is a functioning popular government. The fact uniformed Hamas police can walk the streets unmolested by the IOF is a defeat for Israels stated goals in Gaza.
As reporters make their way back to Gazas north they find disturbing evidence of Israel's mass arrest of the civilian population.
In places the clothing of hundreds of people lay in neat rows, discarded at gun point during an IOF stripped and searched before a forced march.
The emaciated reporter recounts how these strip searches were conducted.
After only 2 days of ceasefire Palestinian first responders in Gaza have found hundreds of skeletal remains under the rubble in newly accessible areas.
On the 24th reports emerged of multiple instances of deliberate IOF targeting of civilians around Rafah in the Southern Gaza Strip. Palestinians documented 20 victims of these apparent Israeli breaches of the ceasefire deal.
Reports of civilian deaths at the hands of IOF in Rafah have continued to come out with the most recent I've seen just 4 hours ago.
Israel isn't only demolishing buildings and shooting random civilians, all in violation of the ceasefire deal.
Even today they are still restricting Gazans from crossing through "Netzarim" checkpoint. The Israeli's are demanding additional concessions in the next steps of swapping captives.
The Netzarim corridor is the still occupied diving area that splits the Gaza strip in half, allowing the IOF to control north-south movement.
More one the ground reporting, right from Palestinians on the ground at Netzarim checkpoint.

Despite all of these ceasefire violations, Hamas none the less returned their second batch of PoWs on the 25th as promised.
All four of the recently returned Israeli women are IOF soldiers.
As has become a common sight, hundreds of Al Qassam Brigades troops paraded through to streets to extremely positive civilians. The PoWs were returned in good health and hygiene all with ceremonial pomp.
In exchange Israel relaesed dozens of long term hostages.
Among them, Muhammad Al-Tous, who was abducted by Israelis 40 years ago as a child!
They kept him in prison for 39 years, he's the longest held Palestinian prisoner.
He and dozens of others were deported to Egypt instead of returned home in Palestine simply because Israel is hellbent on making Palestinians stateless.
A total of 200 Palestinians were released on the 25th.
#Israel #Egypt #Palestine #FreeGaza #MuhammadAlTous #GazaDeal
The next planned part of this PoW / hostage swap is the re-opening of North-South travel in the Gaza Strip.
So now we wait to see if Israel stops shooting at people who gather to cross.
In this video civilians filmed the crack of Israeli sniper bullets flying passed them on the same day as the prisoner swap.
So that there's no mistake.
Hamas returned 4 Israeli soldiers who were captured on 10/7 from their military outpost at Nahal Oz army base.
Liri Albag even had TikTok's bopping in uniform at the base.
These were not innoccent little girls, as the Israeli press is pushing. These were the guards at the gates and they were returned with the utmost respect.
Meanwhile Israel returned emaciated, abused elders held captive since childhood.
