They release more hostage sadly no Americans YET Israel-Hamas war: Another 12 hostages handed to Red Cross Israel says 30 Palestinian prisoners to be released Israel's prison authority also confirmed that 30 Palestinian prisoners had been released as part of the truce, which included 15 women and 15 male teenagers. The announcement follows the release of 10 Israeli and two Thai hostages returned to Israel. Regional broadcaster Al Jazeera reported that a bus carrying Palestinian prisoners departed Israel's Ofer prison on its way to the West Bank city of Beitunia. Israel had earlier released 150 Palestinian prisoners under the truce deal with Hamas. Hostages arrive in Israeli territory, IDF says The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the 12 hostages released from captivity in the Gaza Strip arrived safely in Israeli territory. "The released hostages are... inside Israeli territory," said the army in a statement on the fifth day of a pause in fighting in the Gaza Strip, adding that it "salutes and embraces the released hostages upon their return home." Among the Israeli nationals are adult women up to the age of 84 and a 17-year-old teenager, who was released together with her mother. In total, some 81 hostages have so far been released in the past days, including 61 Israeli nationals. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-another-12-hostages-handed-to-red-cross/live-67567787 |

There might be mediteor to negobtaile extended ceasefire Israel-Hamas war: Mediators seek further truce extensions Talks held in Qatar to extend the current truce between Israel and Hamas Hamas militants say youngest hostage, brother and mother killed in an earlier Israeli bombing Israel says it is checking claim Twelve more hostages and 30 Palestinian prisoners were released on Tuesday The US military airlifted the first deliveries of aid for Gaza into Egypt Skip next section IDF spokesman: 'We will take the war to Hamas wherever they are hiding' IDF spokesman: 'We will take the war to Hamas wherever they are hiding' Colonel Peter Lerner, a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), told DW on Wednesday that it was possible that Israel's military might expand its operations in the south of Gaza. "We are operating currently on a day-to-day basis," Lerner said. "Our primary goal currently is to bring home the hostages, to rescue the hostages, and that is why we are holding our fire. "We are maintaining our defensive positions in northern Gaza Strip, and indeed preparing our offensive plans for the next stages," he said. Lerner said the IDF's operations in the north of Gaza were still not complete, but "we have seen that Hamas over the last few days also continued to operate in the south." Lerner said Hamas attacked IDF forces with explosives in the north three times on Tuesday, even amid the six-day truce and hostage-prisoner exchange. UN's Guterres: 'We believe we need a true humanitarian cease-fire' United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterreswarned on Wednesday that the Gaza Strip was in the midst of an "epic humanitarian catastrophe," urging the Security Council: "We must not look away." Guterres said that an "estimated 45% of all homes in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed" and that the next goal should be a more lasting truce. "Intense negotiations are taking place to prolong the truce, which we strongly welcome, but we believe we need a true humanitarian cease-fire," he told a UN Security Council meeting, chaired by China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi. The current truce is scheduled to expire early on Thursday after a six-day pause in the conflict marked by daily hostage and prisoner exchanges. It has already been extended once, for two additional days. Conflict mediator Qatar said that negotiators were now working for a "sustainable" cease-fire. "I welcome the arrangement reached by Israel and Hamas — with the assistance of the governments of Qatar, Egypt and the United States," Guterres said. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-mediators-seek-further-truce-extensions/live-67579411 |

That not cool Hamas says youngest hostage held in Gaza killed in airstrikes The armed wing of the Palestinian Islamist militant group Hamas said three Israeli hostages were killed in previous Israeli airstrikes on Gaza. In a statement released on Wednesday, the Qassam Brigades said a 10-month-old, believed to be the youngest Israeli hostage captured by the militant group, was killed alongside his 4-year-old brother and their mother. The Israeli army said it was checking the claim. "Hamas is wholly responsible for the security of all hostages in the Gaza Strip," it added in a statement. Hamas is designated as a terrorist group by Israel, the US and Germany, among other countries. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-mediators-seek-further-truce-extensions/live-67579411 |

Yeah Hamas don't want Vlady tick off with them LOL! Hamas says it will release some Russian hostages outside of deal with Israel Mousa Abu Marzouk from the militant Islamist group Hamas said Wednesday that the only adult male hostage released from Gaza was a Israeli-Russian national, and his release was "out of gratitude" for Russian President Vladimir Putin's position on the ongoing conflict. He added that more hostages with Russian citizenship would be released from Gaza alongside 10 Israeli hostages later in the day, noting that the Russians' release was not part of the ongoing hostage deal with Israel. Putin, who launched a war in Ukraine last year, has expressed concern earlier this month over civilian deaths in the Gaza Strip, calling on world leaders to "think about how to stop this tragedy." Abu Marzouk had recently visited Moscow alongside a delegation from Hamas for talks on foreign hostages in Gaza. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-mediators-seek-further-truce-extensions/live-67579411 |

Kind sucks WHO's Tedros: More than half Gaza hospitals inoperable The head of the World Health Organization on Wednesday appealed for efforts to safeguard Gaza's struggling health care infrastructure. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that only 15 of Gaza's 36 hospitals were still functioning and that they were "completely overwhelmed." "Of the 25 hospitals north of the Wadi Gaza [river] before the conflict began, only three are functioning at the most basic level, but they lack fuel, water and food," Tedros said. "The remaining health system capacity must be protected, supported and expanded." WHO officials also warned on Wednesday of the risk of infectious disease spreading in the understocked facilities. "With severe overcrowding, the risks are increasing for epidemics of respiratory tract infections, acute watery diarrhea, hepatitis, scabies, lice and other diseases," Tedros said. The WHO's Mike Ryan, meanwhile, said the health monitoring system was also losing its ability to keep track of such developments, as it was no lo www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-mediators-seek-further-truce-extensions/live-67579411 |

Well take grain of salt until other orgnaizaoitn they release couple of Russian women hostages Hamas media says 2 female Russian hostages released as Red Cross vehicles seen entering Egypt From Tamar Michaelis in Tel Aviv and CNN's Eyad Kourdi, Radina Gigova and Lauren Kent Hamas said Wednesday that it handed over two female Russian hostages to the Red Cross in Gaza, following efforts from the Kremlin to negotiate their release, according to Hamas media. It’s not clear if the two Russians also hold Israeli citizenship. The Israeli government in the past has not noted dual citizens. The Israel Defense Forces, citing information provided by the medical group, also announced that two Israeli hostages who were not part of Israel's hostage deal with Hamas were handed over to the Red Cross on Wednesday and they are on their way to Israeli territory. It is not clear if these are the same Russian hostages that Hamas media is reporting to have been released on Wednesday and that they hold dual citizenship. Red Cross vehicles were seen entering Egypt at the Rafah crossing Wednesday.

Yeah snap to it Red cross Families of Israeli American hostages criticize Red Cross response From CNN's Gabe Cohen Families of Israeli American hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza criticized the Red Cross response throughout the conflict during a media roundtable Wednesday. “We did express our disappointment that there have been no visitation rights. No medical attention has been provided to hostages,” Ruby Chen, whose son Itay Chen is being held, told CNN. “We do not hear their voice. Their voice needs to be heard. Specifically, what is the status of the hostages, why they're not being permitted to visit the hostages, and to get the international community behind them and be the conscience of the international community.” Chen said they voiced the criticism to Red Cross officials at a meeting earlier Wednesday morning, and the officials told the families the organization would respond within a couple days. CNN has reached out to the Red Cross for comment. Liz Hirsh Naftali, the great aunt of 4-year-old Abigail Edan, who was released Sunday, added that she believes the Red Cross isn’t doing enough to publicly report the conditions of the hostages being released from Hamas’ custody. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-29-23/index.html |

OH OH IDF lay smackdown in Lebanon IDF opens fire at positions in southern Lebanon, Lebanese News Agency reports From CNN's Mohammed Tawfeeq and Mia Alberti in Beirut The Israeli Defense Forces have opened fire at positions in southern Lebanon in two separate incidents on Wednesday, according to the Lebanese news agency (NNA). Israeli soldiers targeted the vicinity of the Lebanese town of Houla and opened fired in the vicinity of a Lebanese Army vehicle during a patrol next to a United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon (UNIFIL) site, the NNA reports. In a separate incident Israeli soldiers fired "bursts of machine gun fire" in the same region, the UNIFIL confirmed to CNN. IDF told CNN it is looking into the reports. Although the cross-border fighting between Hezbollah and Israel has virtually stopped since the beginning of the pause in Gaza, Lebanese authorities have since reported several incidents similar to Wednesday's shootings. On Tuesday, the NNA reported Israel shelled the outskirts of the town of Aita al-Shaab. CNN has reached out to UNIFIL for comment about this reported shelling.

Here latest updates how many hostages Israel believes 159 hostages estimated to be currently held in Gaza From Tamar Michaelis and CNN's Sugam Pokharel Israel believes some 159 hostages are currently estimated to be held in Gaza, according to Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Daniel Hagari. The number comes ahead of an expected release of a new group of hostages on the sixth day of the truce with Hamas. Meanwhile, Israeli military troops are “prepared operationally” along truce lines in Gaza, Hagari said. The truce line effectively keeps Israeli troops in northern Gaza and keeps them from moving south during the pause in fighting, an IDF spokesperson told CNN last week. “Today, the troops killed three terrorists who violated the truce’s terms and posed a threat against our forces,” the spokesperson said. He claimed that Mohammed Zubeidi, a senior commander of the Islamic Jihad militant group, was killed in an Israeli military operation in Jenin in the occupied West Bank overnight. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-29-23/index.html |

Not sure yet more hostages are being relesed Two more Israeli hostages released, as ceasefire is extended The six-day humanitarian pause was set to expire Thursday morning, but will be extended, with Hamas hanging over two more Israeli hostages on Thursday evening. The Israeli army announced on Thursday that "two Israeli hostages", initially handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in the Gaza Strip, were now "in Israel", having been released under an agreement between Israel and Hamas. Since Friday, the Palestinian Islamist movement has been releasing around ten hostages a day, and Israel has released three times as many Palestinian prisoners from its jails. "Other Israeli hostages will be handed over to the ICRC in the next few hours", says the Israeli army. www.euronews.com/2023/11/30/extension-of-israel-hamas-truce-confirmed |

Word around the campfire some hostages were taken by other groups How the truce between Israel and Hamas was extended another day – and why it could end soon A deal to extend a truce between Israel and Hamas into Thursday went down to the wire after Hamas declined for hours to produce a list of hostages that had 10 women and children on it – a condition that Israel insisted must be met. After a tense and lengthy back-and-forth on extending the truce into a seventh day, the Israeli government eventually accepted a proposal for Hamas to release just eight new Israeli hostages on Thursday and agreed to count two Israeli-Russian hostages who were set free on Wednesday as a part of Thursday’s release, multiple sources familiar with the discussions told CNN. After Israel rejected one iteration of Hamas’ list that had seven women and children and the bodies of three more who they claimed were killed by Israeli bombardment, Hamas continued to claim that it could not locate more women and children. Hamas then proceeded to offer seven women and children, and three elderly people – also deemed unacceptable to the Israelis, one source said. Hamas ultimately waited until very close to the truce expiring to finally hand over a list that Israel accepted – eight new hostages, plus the two Israeli-Russians released on Wednesday, according to sources. The negotiations have proven to be fluid, leaving open the possibility that the number of the hostages release edition.cnn.com/2023/11/30/politics/israel-and-hamas-truce-extension/index.html |

Of course they blame Israel About 46,000 homes have been destroyed in Gaza since conflict began, according to UN Since October 7, an estimated 46,000 housing units in Gaza have been completely destroyed and more than 234,000 have been partially damaged, according to a United Nations report on November 29. Satellite analysis by researchers at the CUNY Graduate Center and Oregon State University estimate that between 26% and 34% of all structures in the strip have been damaged as of November 29. Comparatively, those figures were between 20% and 26% on November 18. In the Gaza and North Gaza governorates, where the heaviest concentration of airstrikes has occurred, an estimated 52% to 65% of structures have been damaged. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-30-23/index.html |

Now there might be monkey wrench little a bit Israel willing to discuss different terms for further hostage releases, parliament member says From CNN’s Matthew Chance The Israeli government is willing to discuss a different framework for the release of men and soldiers held by Hamas — so long as those releases continue, a member of Israel’s Knesset, or parliament, told CNN Thursday. “Hamas wants to set new terms for the men and the Israeli soldiers,” Danny Danon said, adding that “we are close to the end” of the current phase of the deal. “They want a different equation. Now we have one Israeli hostage for three Palestinian prisoners, and they want to try and change that ratio. As long as they can provide hostages, we are willing to talk," he said. Danon is a former Israeli permanent representative to the United Nations and is a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party. He said that he did not believe Hamas would release all the hostages it holds because the militant group views them as bargaining chips for a negotiated end t edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-30-23/index.html |

It marked the seventh straight night of hostage releases under a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas. Israel was to free 30 Palestinian prisoners later in the evening under the deal. www.euronews.com/2023/11/30/israeli-military-confirms-release-of-six-israeli-hostages-from-captivity-in-gaza-strip |

I think ceasfire is over The pause in fighting that began a week ago had allowed hostages and prisoners to be freed, plus much-needed humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza. Israel bombed the Gaza Strip fiercely on Friday, as the war resumed with full force after a week-long truce. The Israeli army claimed to have struck more than 200 targets in Gaza since the ceasefire expired at 05:00 GMT. Palestinian authorities said at least 100 people, including children, have been killed in Israeli bombardment so far today, as UNICEF warned this morning that hospitals in Gaza were already overwhelmed. www.euronews.com/2023/12/01/israel-announces-strikes-on-gaza-strip-in-sign-war-has-resumed-after-weeklong-truce |

Breaking news they resume the fighting NOWWW! Israel resumes combat operations against Hamas Israel has resumed combat operations against Hamas in Gaza, accusing the militant group of violating its agreement. Hamas denied Israel's claims. The resumption came moments after the seven-day truce between the sides expired. The pause in fighting allowed the release of civilian hostages from Gaza and Palestinian detainees from Israeli jails. Some of the areas where Israel is conducting offensive operations in Gaza include southern parts of the strip, the Israel Defense Forces said. The military also dropped leaflets in the southern city of Khan Younis Friday, calling it a "fighting zone" and telling residents to evacuate. Negotiations with Qatari and Egyptian mediators over the release of hostages are continuing despite the resumption of hostilities. No aid trucks crossed into Gaza after the truce ended, an eyewitness at the Rafah crossing told CNN.

This is probably reason TOOO! Israel says 137 hostages still held in Gaza The Israeli government has said there are still 137 hostages being held in Gaza. This figure includes 115 men, 20 women and two children, according to Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy. Of the 137 hostages, 126 of them hold Israeli citizenship and 11 are foreigners, Levy said. The foreigners include eight Thai nationals, one Nepalese, one Tanzanian and one French-Mexican dual citizen. German news agency dpa reported that, according to the families, eight Israeli hostages also have German passports. During the October 7 terror attacks, Hamas and other militant groups took around 240 people from southern Israel as hostages. They also killed around 1,200 people. 2 killed in Lebanon as Hezbollah, Israeli troops exchange fire Two people have been killed in the town of Houla in southern Lebanon during Israeli shelling of the border town, according to a local official. Although not confirming the deaths, the Israeli military said it struck "a terrorist cell" and "intercepted two launches" from Lebanon, adding that its "artillery struck the sources of the fire." A woman and her 35-year-old son were killed in the Israeli bombardment, said Shakeeb Koteich, the head of Houla's municipal council. It came after Hezbollah, an Iran-backed paramilitary group in Lebanon, said it had fired on Israeli troops at the border. Following the eruption of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, there have been almost daily exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and Israel along the border. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-idf-says-combat-resumes-in-gaza/live-67601316 |
