North Riverside, United States - January 20, 2025 Although it began three hours late, the first day of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip ended in success with the release of three female civilian Israeli hostages and 90 Palestinian prisoners, most of them women and children. British-Israeli Emily Damari, 28, and Israelis Doron Steinbrecher, 31, and Romi Gonen, 24 – the former two kidnapped from the Kfar Aza kibbutz and the latter from the Nova music festival in Reim – were handed over in a central square in Gaza City by the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, to the Red Cross, which in turn made them available to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). "The three released hostages have arrived at the initial reception point in southern Israel, where they will be reunited with their mothers," the IDF confirmed when they arrived at the meeting point in Reim, on the border with Gaza, where they received preliminary medical attention before being transferred by helicopter to Sheba hospital in Tel Aviv to receive medical treatment and meet relatives.
