The military wing of the Hamas Resistance movement, the al-Qassam Brigades, announced Saturday that it decided to postpone the release of the Israeli captives it has due to the Israeli occupation not committing to the stipulations of the prisoner swap agreement.

According to the Palestinian Resistance, the Israeli occupation did not fulfill the stipulations regarding the entry of humanitarian aid to the North of the Gaza Strip nor those relating to the standards of the release of the prisoners that had previously been agreed upon.

Hamas Politburo member Osama Hamdan told Al Mayadeen that there are multiple violations committed by the Israelis in implementing the terms of the truce, some of which occurred yesterday and were repeated today.

Hamdan said that the violations committed by the Israeli occupation are related to the issue of aid trucks, in addition to its forces firing and killing people.

The Palestinian Resistance decided to suspend the release of the second batch of captives, and there are communications to address and end the Israeli violations, added the Politburo member.

The head of the Palestinian Commission of Detainees and ex-Detainees Affairs said earlier in the day that the second batch of imprisoned Palestinian women and children would take place in al-Bireh, the occupied West Bank, adding that the liberation would take place at the same time as the first batch of Palestinian prisoners was liberated on Friday.

"Israel had planned to hand over the prisoners today in Ariha, but we rejected that," he said. "Israel did not adhere today to the release of prisoners according to how long the prisoner has been in prison."

"There is great dissatisfaction among the Palestinian resistance regarding the Israeli manipulation of the list of prisoners set to be liberated," the commission's chair revealed.

Egyptian convoy enters Gaza to help recover captive remains

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.

Check out the truce terms

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.
