Israel is preparing to receive four women soldiers detained by Hamas this Saturday (25) in the latest hostage liberation under the ceasefire of Gaza and hostage agreement.
The militant group said on Friday (24) that he intends to release Karina Ariev , Daniella Gilboa , Naama Levy – All 20 years old – and LIRI ALBAG 19.
The four women scheduled to be released were among the seven women hijacked from the Nahal Oz military base, where they served as military watchman of Israel’s defense forces, observing activities within the Gaza Strip.
The kidnappings took place during the Hamas Base attack, held on October 7, 2023. Several videos showing the kidnapping became symbolic because of brutality.
A part of the shoot showed them lined up against a wall, with their hands tied, the bodies injured and with bloodstains.
The video was released by women’s families in May to press the Israeli government to guarantee an agreement to free them. Israel’s defense forces (IDF) admitted at the time that they had not defended their staff at Nahal Oz base.
The four hostages
LIRI ALBAG He joined Israel’s defense forces shortly after graduating in high school and was 19 years old in captivity. Albag images, clearly filmed under coercion, were released by Hamas earlier this month. His family said the video had “torn (his) hearts into pieces.”
The forum of hostages and missing has described Albag as someone who “radiates joy, with a smile and laugh that illuminate the day of all around him.” According to his family and friends, Albag is a big fan of singing, photography and cooking. His dream was to study in Paris and become an interior designer and architect.
Karina Ariev He turned 20 in captivity. In January 2024, Hamas released a video showing Ariev and Gilboa begging for their lives.
The Forum described Ariev as someone who “shares love inside her with her family and friends, is sensitive to everything and always takes care of everyone.”
They said she is from Jerusalem and likes to dance, sing, write, cook and make up. The forum also said she dreams of becoming a psychologist “and is known to be compassionate and to unite people.”
Daniella Gilboa It is from Petah Tikva, downtown Israel, and turned 20 in captivity.
She was described as a “passionate musician who studies piano and singing, aspiring to pursue a professional career in music. Known for its optimism and kindness ”.
Naama Levy He also turned 20 in captivity. A video showing his kidnapping on October 7 became a symbol of the brutality of Hamas’s attack that day. He showed her being dragged by her hair under the aim of a gun, her hands tied, her cut ankles, and her pants soaked with blood.
Her family and friends described her as kind and quiet, but full of light, joy, strength and determination. They said Levy competed in triathlos and played tennis. She also participated in the Peace Hands project, which brings together Israeli, Palestinians and Americans to discuss the Israeli-Palestine conflict.
Who is not included in the transfer
Israeli authorities told families of the four women who intended to proceed with liberation this weekend – despite the fact that Israel previously expected Arbel Yehud, a civil hostage still kept in Gaza, was included in Saturday’s release.
Israel demanded that Hamas freed Yehud, a 29 -year -old woman taken hostage to her home at Kibbutz Nir Oz as part of the next liberation, a source familiar with the subject said.
Yehud is believed to be detained by the Islamic Jihad Palestinian, not by Hamas, which may be a factor at the time of its liberation.
