On November 27, Hamas released another eleven Israeli citizens who were in captivity. This is stated in a statement by the Israel Defense Forces.
"IDF and Israel Defense Forces special forces are escorting the 11 released hostages into Israeli territory. After they undergo an initial medical assessment, our forces will accompany them until they are reunited with their families," the statement said.
IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari issued a statement calling on international organizations to do everything possible to gain access to other hostages in the Gaza Strip. He spoke about one of the freed women, 84-year-old Elma Abraham. After the exchange, she was taken to hospital in critical condition.
"During the Hamas massacre on October 7, Elma was taken hostage by brutal terrorists. She was brought to Gaza on the back of a motorcycle. Elma was held captive by Hamas for 51 days and nights. She was kept in harsh conditions and was denied life-saving medicine. She "No representatives of the Red Cross visited her. When she was released from captivity, she was in critical condition. Elma is a reminder of our important mission. Now she is home. They are taking care of her. But who cares about the other hostages in Gaza?" he said indignantly.
