·She was a Staff Sergeant in Unit 414, who was killed when her base in Nahal Oz was overrun by Hamas fighters on October 7.
Israel’s longest running paper, Haaretz, just confirmed that Netanyahu actively blocked every hostage deal since 10/7, Netanyahu meanwhile is openly planning to annex Gaza—& the conversation is still “why won’t Hamas agree to a deal?” This is how genocide perpetuates. Horrific
The fact that Ben Gvir can admit to having blocked hostage deals many, many times and this isn’t the end of his politics career says a lot about the current politics of Israel.
The three hostages to be released today are from the group of injured and ailing hostages. 399 Palestinians will be released in exchange, the highest number since the deal took effect; 36 with life sentences. 333 were arrested in Gaza during the genocide.
Released hostage Turbanov statement upon his release :
“Your kindness has been engraved in my conscience forever. During the 498 days I lived among you, despite the aggression and crimes you endured, I learned the true meaning of manhood, pure heroism, and respect for humanity and values.
You were the free ones under siege, while I was the prisoner, and you were the protectors of my life. You cared for me as a compassionate father cares for his children. You preserved my health, dignity, and grace, and even though I was in the hands of men fighting for their land and stolen rights, and despite the fact that my country’s government was committing the most heinous genocide against a besieged people, you never allowed hunger or humiliation to touch me.
I did not know the true meaning of masculinity until I saw it in your eyes, and I did not realize the value of sacrifice until I lived among you—until I saw you smiling in the face of death, resisting an enemy armed with tools of destruction with nothing but your bare bodies.
No matter how eloquent or expressive I may be, I will never find words to reflect your true worth, nor to express my astonishment and admiration for your noble morality.
Does your religion really teach you to treat prisoners in such a way? What a great faith this must be, to elevate you to such a level that all man-made human rights laws collapse before it, that all protocols of war crumble in its presence! Even in the most difficult moments, you demonstrated justice and mercy not through empty slogans but through the reality of our experiences, never abandoning your principles even in the darkest conditions.
Believe me, if I ever return here, it will only be as a mujahid in your ranks. Because I learned the truth from your people, and I realized that you are not only the rightful owners of the land, but also of principles and a just cause.” Alexander Turbanov”
an Israeli woman’s testimony of what happened to her on October 7: “They come in and I tell them I have two children. They say don’t worry, we’re Muslim, we will not hurt you. One of them sees bananas and asks if he can have one. I say yes. They stayed about two hours then left.”
another testimony from an Israeli woman’s experience on October 7, who also confirms their murderous regime intentionally killed their own civilians with the Hannibal Directive: “Hamas didn’t harm us. They treated us very humanely.”
