The Israel Hamas War, that has been raging for nearly fifteen months, claiming lives of thousands of people on both sides, has finally halted with the first phase of the ceasefire agreement being initiated.

Three women whom Hamas held hostage in Gaza for more than 470 days are returning to Israel as a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war went into effect on Sunday morning.

Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher, and Emily Damari are the three Israeli hostages released by Hamas on Sunday as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal.

The Hamas terror organization released three female Israeli hostages on Sunday. They are alive and were transferred into the hands of Red Cross workers who transported them out of Gaza to meet with the Israel Defense Forces.

The family of released Hamas hostage Emily Damari, 28, has revealed that she lost two of her fingers during the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. The British-Israeli citizen’s fingers were blown off when Hamas terrorists took her hostage.

Emily Damari, who was freed after 471 days in Hamas captivity, reunited with her family via video call at an IDF facility. During the call, she showed her bandaged hand, which had two fingers broken in Hamas's October 7 attack.

The first three Hamas hostages, who have been in captivity for 15 months, have been handed over to the Red Cross in a historic moment on the first day of the cease-fire between Israel and the terror group.
