In a way it seems like the ceasefire deal (and timing) might be part of a plan to turn to the Judea and Samaria front. 42 days where less troops might be needed in Gaza, and taking care of terrorists and arms in that front.

In other welcome (though too little and too late) the lowlife Chief of Staff Hertzi Halevi (who should have never been appointed by a lame duck government, when there was sufficient time for a post swearing in of a new government appointment) has announced his resignation effective March 6th (IINM that's more or less the deadline set by the new defense minister for submission of all IDF internal investigations).

Does the "deal" include Israeli inspection of "Humanitarian Aid" crossing over into Gaza?

Does the "deal" include Israeli inspection of "Humanitarian Aid" crossing over into Gaza?

Whether it does or doesn't, the volume (which limits the thoroughness of searches), and the fact that Hamas will control all of it, is already a major concession.

I also saw a report that the Qataris were going to be delivering 1.25m liters of fuel to Gaza the first days of the ceasefire.

[TimT]

So the released hostages were kept in UN shelters. How surprising.
Anything with the “UN” letters on it should be target #1.

 Mother of Hostage Agam Berger who is expected to be released on shabbos from Gaza said she will not be mechalel shabbos in order to see her daughter and will wait until shabbos is over per her discussions with rabbis. She asked the Israeli media to refrain from desecrating shabbos with reporting on the release and not to take any pictures or videos until after shabbos.

Don't follow.

She can't wait in the hospital on shabbos? Or get a room nearby?

Maybe lost in translation? E.g. she wont be mechalel shabbos, *if it's required* to see her daughter


ETA: yeah check out the articles. She didnt say this.

[~King Lake~]

(according to Today’s Hamevaser)
She’s basically pleading to the media not to be mechalel shabbos because of her & her daughter.

If you read Hebrew

[EliJelly]

BH the hostages are alive, in no need of immediate medical care, and with their mothers.
הוֹדוּ לַה כּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ!!!

While we're all happy that those hostages released are alive and healthy, likely so the next ones too, let's not forget that this is a PR stunt by Hamas to release the healthy ones first while this is big news and the whole world is watching.

I don’t think anyone forgot that. Let’s not forget to sing and praise Hashem when we do get healthy hostages home. There’s room in us for both we’re big people

Where's the list?

Is there a non Jewish source that has it public?

ETA:

Here's a non-Jewish source. Doesn't seem like it was made public.
