On the Way Home: These are the Names of Those Freed from the Gaza Strip

Moments after the 11 abductees who were released this evening (Monday) from Gaza were handed over to the Red Cross, the families allowed the publication of the names of some of those released in the fourth round of the hostage deal - all of whom are from Kibbutz Nir Oz.

Among the freed are members of the Konyo family - the mother Sharon and her daughters Emma and Yuli, as well as 3 members of the Engel family - Karina the mother, and daughters Mika and Yuval. Both families leave fathers in the captivity of Hamas.

As a reminder, the release of the abductees this evening was delayed for several hours due to disputes between Israel and Hamas regarding the list of the abductees - when, according to reports, the basis of the dispute dealt with the release of the mothers. The original Hamas list included 2 elderly women and 9 children - contrary to the Israeli requirement that mothers not be separated from their children.

In the end, an Israeli official confirmed that they managed to change today's list so that mothers would not be separated from their children. According to the official announcement, at the last moment two mothers were added to the list, who will be released from captivity along with nine children.
