'He has left hell': Israelis welcome home hostages after 15 months in Gaza
Saturday, 1 February 2025 At first, it was a gentle noise in the distance, but then it became louder and more rhythmic. People started pointing into the sky, and the cheering began, rumbling through Hostages Square.
Hundreds of Israeli cruise passengers aboard the Mano Maritime–operated Crown Iris found themselves unable to disembark at the Greek island of Syros after a pro-Hamas, pro–Palestinian protest blocked the port. Local demonstrators—estimated at around 150–200—raised Palestinian flags, chanted slogans, and formed a human barrier, prompting Greek authorities and the cruise line to halt disembarkation out of concern for passenger safety.

As the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal fails, pressure mounts on the Israeli government. Thousands rallied across Tel Aviv and other cities, demanding action to bring hostages home. The Hostage Forum warned that each day of war strengthens Hamas and endangers both hostages and soldiers. A new poll shows 74% of Israelis—including 60% of Netanyahu’s voters—support a deal. Eli Sharabi, who lost family on October 7, called on Trump to intervene. With around 50 hostages still in Gaza, public support for peace is reaching a breaking point.

Weeks after Trump boasted of obliterating Iran’s nuclear program, a New York Times report raises major doubts. Israeli officials claim parts of Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile survived U.S. airstrikes in June. The uranium, reportedly buried too deep at Isfahan, may remain intact and inaccessible. While the U.S. says centrifuges were likely destroyed, satellite imagery suggests otherwise. With IAEA inspectors blocked, uncertainty looms. Trump’s “Midnight Hammer” may not have delivered a fatal blow, casting doubt on U.S. intelligence and raising fears about Iran’s nuclear future.

In a significant escalation, Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed a major missile strike against Israel's primary international gateway, Ben Gurion Airport. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree announced that a newly unveiled missile, named "Palestine-2," was launched towards Tel Aviv, alleging it successfully halted all air traffic and caused widespread panic. The group, officially known as Ansarallah, declared the attack was an act of solidarity with the Palestinian people and the armed resistance in Gaza, vowing that such strikes will persist until Israel's military offensive and blockade on the territory come to an end.
However, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have presented a conflicting account. According to Israeli military sources, the incoming missile was successfully tracked and intercepted by its advanced air defense systems. While air raid sirens were activated in several regions across Israel as a precautionary measure, the IDF maintains that the threat was neutralized before it could impact the airport's infrastructure or cause any casualties.
The incident has drawn a sharp response from Tel Aviv. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stern warning to Yemen, threatening "dire consequences" similar to those faced by Tehran if the Houthi attacks continue. This latest strike is part of a sustained campaign by the Houthis, who have reportedly launched over 50 missiles and drones towards Israel since the conflict in Gaza intensified, repeatedly attempting to target critical Israeli infrastructure like Ben Gurion Airport.

Al-Quds Brigades have released new video footage showing mortar strikes on Israeli military positions in Khan Younis. The video captures masked fighters assembling and firing mortars from civilian areas, followed by multiple explosions targeting Israeli supply lines and troop buildings. Black smoke and direct hits are visible in the footage. This comes as Hamas claims 20,000 fighters remain active, with leaders like Abu Obeida warning of more severe retaliation if Israeli raids persist. Despite months of operations, Israel faces ongoing resistance in southern Gaza.

Another Gaza ceasefire deal has crumbled, with Hamas accusing former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of undermining peace efforts. Hamas officials claim they were never informed of the U.S.-Israel decision to abandon indirect talks. Trump blamed Hamas for “acting in bad faith,” hinting at possible U.S. military action in Gaza. As rockets rain on Israel and IDF strikes continue, families of hostages and thousands of Palestinians lose hope for an end to the conflict. Netanyahu echoed Trump, vowing “alternative options” with U.S. backing.

Thousands of Israelis flooded the streets of Tel Aviv, marching from Hostage Square to the US Embassy, demanding an immediate and comprehensive hostage deal with Hamas. Families of captives, backed by freed hostages, pleaded with Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump to finalize an agreement to bring all remaining hostages home.
Freed hostage Doron Steinbrecher passionately urged both leaders to "make Israel great again," referencing her 471 days of terror in Gaza tunnels. Protesters carried Israeli and American flags, and banners demanding Trump’s leadership. The powerful march came amid stalled ceasefire talks in Qatar, and rising frustration with Israel's government. Some demonstrators also condemned army draft exemptions for ultra-Orthodox Jews, adding fuel to the fire. With at least 50 hostages still in captivity and negotiations stalling, desperation and political anger are boiling over. The world watches as Israel pleads for a resolution to this human tragedy.
