GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Several hours after the ceasefire agreement come into effect, al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, handed over three Israeli female captives to the Red Cross on Sunday evening as part of the first phase of the deal.
Al-Qassam Brigades released footage of the three Israeli women as they were smiling inside a vehicle and being handed bags containing souvenirs from the Gaza Strip before they were driven to the handover point.
The Brigades also released another footage showing vehicles carrying a number of its fighters in the streets as they escorted the three captives to Gaza City’s Saraya Square.
TV coverage showed scenes in the Saraya Square as Palestinian crowds massed around the vehicle carrying the Israeli captives before they were handed over to a Red Cross crew.
Later, the Red Cross handed the women over to the Israeli occupation forces on Sunday night.
