Hamas Frees Six Israeli Hostages on Saturday
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - Oct. 7 captives Tal Shoham, 39; Omer Shem Tov, 22; Omer Wenkert, 23; and Eliya Cohen, 27, were returned to Israel on Saturday after over 500 days in Hamas captivity. Avera Mengistu, 37, and Hisham al-Sayed, 37, returned after a decade in Gaza. The men all looked frail and many had suffered dramatic weight loss. Five were paraded on stages in propaganda-filled ceremonies in two locations in Gaza, while al-Sayed was released separately. The last four "phase one" hostages are set to be freed on Thursday. All are believed dead.
