Israeli media outlets reported on Friday that the Israeli captives crossed the Rafah Crossing into Egypt, after being received earlier by the Red Crescent at the Khan Yunis Hospital in the Gaza Strip, which transferred them to the Palestinian-Egyptian borders.

According to news outlets, 24 captives were released, and "all of them are in relatively good condition."

Following over 6 weeks of the Israeli brutal war on Gaza, which was accompanied by a near-complete blockade, a full siege on the residents, and over 1,300 massacres during the short period, the Resistance was able to enforce its initial conditions of not releasing any Israeli captive unless through an indirect prisoner exchange.

The captive's release comes as part of the previously announced prisoner exchange agreement between the occupation entity and Resistance group Hamas, mediated by Qatar and Egypt, which saw the liberation of 150 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails.

The media outlets added that the captives met with Shin Bet officers inside Egypt after their arrival.

A 4-day aggression pause agreement was reached this week following 47 days of a brutal Israeli war on Gaza, which was accompanied by a near-complete blockade, a full siege on the residents, and over 1,300 massacres during the short period.

The deal, which came into effect at 7 am on Friday and has the potential to be extended, achieved the liberation of 150 Palestinian women and children, in return for the release of 50 captives between women and others under the age of nineteen. The exchange will take place over the course of the four days of the temporary truce

The Resistance was also able to impose a condition that the Israelis would put to a complete halt the flight of hostile aircraft over the southern Gaza Strip, and a cessation of flights for six hours daily, from 10 AM to 4 PM, over Gaza City and the northern part of the Strip. Additionally, 200 aid trucks and 4 trucks of fuel and cooking oil will enter Gaza on a daily basis, and will not be restricted to a specific area.

This comes at a time when US President Joe Biden's administration fears that a temporary pause to the aggression on Gaza would have an unintended negative impact on the occupation entity.

In its latest report, the Government Media Office in Gaza announced that the number of martyrs has surpassed 14,854 martyrs, including 6,150 children and over 4,000 women. Children and women now constitute more than 66% of Palestinians killed by the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

The government media office of Gaza also announced that more than 207 doctors, nurses, and paramedics have been martyred by the Israeli aggression, in addition to 65 journalists who were killed while covering the Israeli crimes and massacres to release them to the world.

According to US officials, the short truce would allow journalists to access the Strip and take pictures and draft reports, uncovering Israeli crimes and destruction that the aggression has caused, Politico reported on Tuesday.

The emerging images and coverage could "turn the public opinion on Israel," the newspaper said as per the officials.
