hostages exchange

Assalamualaikum
I apologize for not updating for a couple of days, I'll summarize what happened in this chapter.

On 24/11 and 25/11 Isreal and Hamas agreed on a hostage exchange deal.

On Wednesday, the Israeli Ministry of Justice published a list of the names of 300 Palestinian prisoners, which it said could be released as part of a prisoner exchange deal with the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), a measure whose aim appears to be to allow consideration of any legal obstacles that may arise at the last moments.

The Israeli government's decision at dawn on Wednesday spoke of releasing 150 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for 50 Israeli prisoners in the Gaza Strip.  The decision indicated that in exchange for the release of each additional Israeli, 3 Palestinian prisoners would be released.

The Qatari Foreign Ministry announced this morning the success of the joint mediation efforts with Egypt and the United States between Israel and the Hamas movement, as it resulted in reaching an agreement on a humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip that will last for 4 days and can be extended, and the timing of its start will be announced within 24 hours.

According to the announcement, the agreement includes the exchange of 50 civilian women and children prisoners in the Gaza Strip in the first phase, in exchange for the release of a number of Palestinian women and children detained in Israeli prisons. The truce will also allow the entry of a larger number of humanitarian convoys and relief aid, including fuel allocated for humanitarian needs.  .

On October 7, Hamas and the resistance factions launched Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood,” during which they captured - from Israeli settlements and military points around Gaza - about 240 Israelis, including high-ranking military personnel, and wish to exchange them for more than 7,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons. 

For the 47th day, the Israeli occupation army is waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, leaving more than 14,000 martyrs, including 5,840 children and 3,920 women, as well as more than 33,000 injured, most of whom are children and women.
  Hamas: The movement responded to the appreciated Egyptian and Qatari efforts that moved throughout the day to ensure the continuation of the temporary truce agreement after they conveyed the occupation’s commitment to all the conditions stipulated in the agreement.
