Hamas and other factions have finalized preparations for the release of Israeli hostages, which is expected to commence tomorrow morning around 6:00 AM UTC across multiple points in the Gaza Strip, according to reports from Saudi A-Shark Channel and Arab TV sources. The Israeli government spokesman confirmed that the IDF is retreating to the yellow line, anticipating the imminent release of all living hostages. The release is slated to occur at dawn on Monday, with the potential recovery of 28 bodies following the release of the captives, as reported by Al-Jazeera. Prime Minister has stated that the release of the "kidnappers" will begin tomorrow in the early morning. This development follows renewed security operations in the field and comes as a bus from the Red Cross is reportedly being raised toward the Strip. Separately, an air strike targeted the city of Rafah. The prisoner involved in an attack on a prison will not be released in a transaction yesterday, and their arrest has been extended by three days, according to "News before everyone in Telegram." Internal clashes previously erupted across the Gaza Strip between Hamas forces and powerful families following the implementation of a ceasefire, with the fiercest fighting occurring in the north. Around 15 members of the Dughmush family were reportedly executed near the Jordanian hospital, while Hamas security forces deployed throughout the Strip to eliminate opposition. These internal conflicts emerged as Southern Command forces continued operational preparations in the Gaza Strip, as announced by the IDF. Egyptian sources also reported dozens of caravans waiting in Egyptian Rafah to enter Gaza following the reopening of the Rafah crossing. The Ma’atzib tribe, cooperating with Hamas, announced its armed members had returned to secure aid entering Gaza through the Kissufim crossing.
