Hamas refuses to provide hostage list again, breaching ceasefire once more

On Saturday, Hamas failed to provide Israel with a list detailing the status of the remaining 26 hostages scheduled to be released during the first phase of the ceasefire, marking a second breach of the agreement within 24 hours, according to local media reports on Sunday. This is typical of the terror group as they lie and violate agreements like it was a joke.

According to the terms of the deal, Hamas was supposed to inform Jerusalem by Saturday which of the remaining hostages, all categorized as humanitarian cases—female, children, elderly, and sick—were still alive. Having failed to do so, it is feared that many hostages have since been killed after being kidnapped on Oct. 7, 2023.

The Hamassholes also breached the agreement by releasing four female Israel Defense Forces soldiers on Saturday while keeping Israeli civilian Arbel Yehud in captivity. Under the terms of the deal, Hamas was obligated to release civilian women and children hostages before freeing the female troops. This is their way of pulling on the heartstrings of Israelis and simply being anal sphincters.

Despite these breaches, Israel has stuck to the stupidly agreed-to-ratio for releasing Arab prisoners from its jails. The initial terms stated that more terrorists would be freed in exchange for soldiers than for civilians.

However, in response to Hamas's actions, Jerusalem has halted the northward movement of Arab noncombatants.

“As per the agreement, Israel will not allow the passage of Gazans to the north of the Strip until the release of the civilian Arbel Yehud, who was supposed to be released today, is arranged,” the Prime Minister’s Office stated on Saturday, shortly after IDF hostages Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, and Naama Levy returned to Israel.

Earlier this week, the IDF  announced that Arabs would be allowed to return northwards if Hamas adhered to the ceasefire terms.

Hamas has claimed that Yehud is alive and well and would be freed with the next group of captives on Feb. 1, trying to blame the failure to release her on the Iranian-backed Palestinian [sic] Islamic Jihad and a related Salafist group reportedly holding her.

Overnight, Hamas encouraged thousands of Arabs to move back to the northern Strip to pressure Israel, leading to IDF soldiers firing warning shots to control the crowd, as reported by local media.

The military emphasized in a Saturday night statement that troops were only to fire warning shots, urging Arabs to “obey IDF instructions and not approach the forces deployed in the area.”

Israeli estimates suggest there are still 90 hostages in Hamas captivity in Gaza, including 87 taken during the Oct. 7 attacks.

Of the 251 hostages kidnapped on Oct. 7, 164 have been returned or rescued, and Hamas is believed to hold 35 bodies, with 34 of them from the Oct. 7 incident, and that of Lt. Hadar Goldin, captured by the terror group in 2014.

Hamas breached the terms of the hostage release deal within 24 hours of its Jan. 19 implementation by failing to provide Israel with the names of the three female captives that were scheduled for release the next day.
