Israel At War Sunday October 12

Israel at war day 737

- Red Cross has met with the hostages and reported that some are in serious condition, just hours before the long-awaited operation to bring them home from Hamas captivity is set to begin Monday morning. Families have been instructed to arrive early at the Re’im base in southern Israel, where the hostages will undergo initial medical evaluations after their release.

- Trump, aboard Air Force One, declares twice that the Gaza war ‘is over,’ adds: ‘You understand that?’

- Fox news: Israeli hostages within HOURS will be transported within Gaza to Israeli special forces, given immediate medical checks and then flown to regional hospitals

- Trump  on way to Israel in airforce one
ahead of his trip to Israel: "This is going to be a very special time... Everybody's cheering at one time. That's never happened before... It's an honor to be involved—and we're going to have an amazing time."

- Vice President J.D. Vance, in an interview with NBC: The hostages may be released at any moment

- Current assessment in Israel: release of the hostages around 6 AM Monday

- Hamas official to Al Jazeera: We divided the hostages into several locations in the Gaza Strip in preparation for their handover. They will be released from 3 different locations. Our delegation will meet today with the Red Cross to approve the handover mechanism.

- A message was delivered to some of the hostage families that their loved ones' bodies will NOT be returned in the first stage of the deal

-Saudi Al-Hadath: Syrian authorities may soon hand over the remains of Israeli spy Eli Cohen to Israel.

- US President Donald Trump is set to arrive in Israel on Monday morning and address the Knesset before departing four hours later. He  will also meet with the families of hostages,
Trump is expected to land in Israel at 9:20 a.m. and depart at 1:00 p.m. Upon arrival, a brief ceremony will be held at Ben Gurion Airport before Trump proceeds to the Knesset, where he is scheduled to speak to the plenum at 11:00 a.m.

-Sources in Hamas to the Saudi Al-Sharq channel: Hamas and the Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip have completed all preparations for the release of hostages and prisoner exchange, in which 20 hostages and some bodies will be released in one batch. It was noted that preparations are being made to receive the Palestinian prisoners who will be released from the prisons.

- Hamas document handwritten by Yahya Al-Sinwar from August 2022, discovered in the Gaza Strip by the IDF, included precise instructions for the first hours of the Hams terrorists' raid into Israeli territory alongside orders to document the massacre of Israeli civilians and soldiers. The instructions were fully implemented in the terror attack on October 7, 2023.

- IDF Fighters at one of the positions in the strip: "The enemy is getting very close to our posts”. Currently, the rules of engagement are warning shots at civilians who try to approach the yellow line. The instructions are to avoid killing as much as possible until the hostages return, and then, according to the battalion commander and the brigade commander, we will begin to enforce control over the yellow line. Currently, there are posts where the yellow line is a kilometer away, yet the enemy returns to occupy houses 250 meters from the post.
