Ramat Gan, Israel - January 19, 2025 Storyline: The first three Israeli hostages released from the Gaza Strip under a ceasefire agreement that took effect on Sunday have returned to Israel and reunited with their families. Among the three released women are Emily Damari, a 28-year-old British-Israeli, and Doron Steinbrecher, a Romanian-Israeli veterinary nurse aged 30, both abducted from Kibbutz Kfar Aza outside northern Gaza; and Romi Gonen, 23, who was taken from the Nova music festival. A live broadcast from Gaza showed the hostages, freed from 471 days of captivity, being transferred from a Hamas vehicle surrounded by armed militants to a Red Cross vehicle, which transported them to Israeli forces. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office released photos of the women embracing their mothers at a military compound outside Gaza. Later, helicopters flew them to Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan, a suburb of Tel Aviv, where they received medical and psychological care. The Red Cross earlier informed the Israeli side that their condition was "good". However, a screenshot of Damari during a video call showed her with a bandaged hand missing two fingers, an injury sustained during her abduction by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023. Her mother, Mandy, expressed in a statement her gratitude to supporters, saying, "After 471 days, Emily is finally home." Under the ceasefire agreement, Israel is set to release 90 Palestinian detainees on Sunday, primarily women and children from the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. Over the next six weeks, Hamas is to release 33 hostages in phases, including women, children, men over 50, the sick, and the injured. Deceased hostages are expected to be returned in later stages. Israel estimates that about half of the 98 hostages still held in Gaza are alive, though Hamas has not provided confirmation. In Tel Aviv, large crowds gathered at Hostage Square to celebrate and demand adherence to the agreement. Families and friends of the hostages were seen following the news of their release, cheering and bursting into tears as the women were transferred to Israeli forces. Netanyahu called the release "a great moment, an exciting moment...", adding that the three "went through hell". Meanwhile at a press briefing, Israel Defense Forces Spokesman Daniel Hagari warned the military was boosting forces in the West Bank and remaining prepared for military action if Hamas violates the truce. Also on Sunday, the first humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza from Egypt, Palestinian sources confirmed. Based on the ceasefire agreement, about 600 trucks loaded with humanitarian aid, including 50 fuel trucks, will enter Gaza every day to ease the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The deal, brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, aims to end the fighting between Israel and Hamas that started on Oct. 7, 2023. Nearly 47,000 were killed during the conflicts, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza. Shotlist: Ramat Gan, Israel - Jan 19, 2025: 1. Various of helicopter landing; 2.
