Tel Aviv [Israel], November 27 (ANI/TPS): The Israel Police opened an investigation into one of the Palestinian terrorists released from prison as part of the hostage deal with Hamas, Israeli lawmaker Zvi Sukkot (Religious Zionism) said on Monday. Sukkot filed a complaint last week against Roda Abu Agamiya, a terrorist from Judea who served jail time for recruiting terrorists for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, among other charges.
Abu Agamiya, from the Dheisheh camp near Bethlehem, was set free on Friday along with 38 other terrorists. In footage shared on Arab social media, she was seen celebrating her release and urging Palestinians to support Hamas. “We are the sword of Mohammed Deif,” exclaimed Abu Agamiya, in reference to the head of Hamas‘s Al-Qassam Brigades “military” wing.
In a Monday post on X (formerly Twitter), Sukkot revealed that he “submitted a police complaint against Rudah Abu Ajmiyah, one of the prisoners who were released as part of the hostages deal, due to her inciteful words after her release. “Whoever incites terror must be in prison. What was won’t be,” added the Knesset member.
As part of the agreement with Hamas, Israel agreed to commute the sentences of at least 150 female and teenage Palestinian security prisoners, or three terrorists for every hostage released, in addition to pausing its military campaign against the terrorist group.
So far, 117 Palestinian terrorists have been released from Israeli jails. On Friday, Jerusalem freed 39 Palestinian terrorists. Another 39 were released on Saturday, with another 39 set free on Sunday evening.
Before their release, all prisoners were asked to sign a document pledging not to engage in terrorism.
Hamas announced in a statement on Sunday that it is hoping to extend the truce beyond the initial four-day period in order to secure the release of additional Palestinian terrorists.
Currently, Hamas is believed to be holding 183 hostages, including 18 children and 43 women. A temporary four-day ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas terrorist organization went into effect at 7 a.m. on Friday.
As part of the deal approved by the Israeli Cabinet on Wednesday, Hamas is to release 12 to 13 hostages each day of the truce. The release of every additional 10 hostages will result in one additional day in the pause in combat.
Under the agreement, the Israel Defense Forces is to refrain from using surveillance drones in Gaza for six hours each day of the ceasefire. Israel will also allow fuel to enter the Strip during that time and dramatically increase the volume of goods permitted into the enclave.\
At least 1,200 people were killed in Hamas‘s attacks on Israeli communities near the Gaza border on October 7. Another 240 men, women, children and soldiers were taken back to Gaza as hostages. Some people remain unaccounted for as Israeli authorities continue to identify bodies and search for human remains. (ANI/TPS)
Hamas terrorists admit taking hostages to Shifa hospital
Tel Aviv [Israel], November 27 (ANI/TPS): The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) released footage on Monday of two Hamas terrorists explaining to interrogators how they used an ambulance to kidnap Thai and Nepalese agricultural workers during the massacre of October 7 and taking them to the Shifa Hospital. The terrorists, Adham Hawwas and Ismail Hawwas, were both seen in security footage at Kibbutz Alumim, near the Gaza Strip, and inside Gaza’s Shifa Hospital
Both were arrested in Gaza and taken to Israel for interrogation. “I crossed the fence through a gap that allowed me to pass on foot. After that I got on a white Magnum Jeep and we drove to the settlement gate which was closed. We climbed over the gate and entered the area with the farmers’ rooms,” said Adham. “Two people I was with took someone and left with him. Then, in addition to the two abductees, I brought another one,” he added.
“We put the abductees in the ambulance, where Abu Khaled asked one of the abductees: ‘What is your name?’ But he didn’t understand what he was asking. The second kidnapper hinted to him: ‘Thailand,’ and then we realized that they both have the same citizenship and most likely they are working. They told us to go with the ambulance to Shifa Hospital.”
At Shifa, the first abductee was walked in while the second was wheeled in on a gurney. Ismail said that someone from the Hamas’ Al Qassam Brigades was inside the room that the hostages were taken to, while another two stood outside. Asked if those men were armed, Ismail answered, “Yes.”
Last Monday, the Shin Bet released footage of Palestinians confirming to Shin Bet interrogators how terrorists hid inside hospitals and dressed as medical personnel. Shifa Hospital, located in the North Rimal neighborhood and boasting 570 beds, is Gaza’s largest medical center, serving the medical needs of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. It was originally built by British authorities in 1946. In the 1980s, Israel renovated and expanded Shifa as part of an initiative to improve Gaza living conditions.
As far back as 2009, the Israeli Security Agency (Shin Bet) reported during the Gaza war of that year that Hamas operatives were hiding in the hospital, and that the basement had become Hamas’s headquarters. As the Tazpit Press Service reported, in addition to being used to hide Hamas leaders and hostages, the terror group is known to have launched rockets, tortured suspected collaborators and hoarded a half-million liters of fuel in the hospital compound.
