Emotions ran high this week as Israel and Hamas continued their hostage-prisoner exchanges, marking the latest steps in a fragile truce. 🕊️
In the fourth swap, 11 Israelis and 33 Palestinian prisoners regained freedom. By Tuesday, 30 more Palestinian detainees were released, while Israel confirmed receiving 12 hostages from Gaza. The process reached a seventh batch by November 30, offering glimpses of hope amid ongoing tensions.
CGTN footage captured jubilant scenes as buses carrying released Palestinians rolled through cheering crowds. One freed detainee shared her ordeal: "I heard the news on the radio… the suffering in Ofer Prison was unbearable." Meanwhile, families of former hostages vowed to keep advocating for those still held.
While the swaps bring relief, the road ahead remains uncertain. As one relative put it: "We won’t rest until everyone comes home." 💔→✨
