Hamas Releases Israeli Hostage Tal Shoham; Families Weep in Relief | Watch Hamas’ Chilling Transfer
Hamas Releases Israeli Hostage Tal Shoham; Families Weep in Relief.
Hamas has released Israeli hostage Tal Shoham as part of the seventh hostage-prisoner exchange under the ongoing Gaza ceasefire.
Shoham, who had been held in captivity since the conflict’s early days, was handed over to the Red Cross in Rafah, southern Gaza, alongside fellow hostage Avera Mengistu.
Heart-wrenching scenes unfolded as Shoham's family and loved ones in Israel burst into tears of relief while watching the transfer live.
Edan Alexander, a 19-year-old American-Israeli soldier and IDF combat medic, was taken hostage by Hamas during the October 7 attack that ignited the Israel-Gaza war. After 583 harrowing days held underground in Gaza, often in brutal conditions, Edan has finally been freed. This video covers the emotional reunion with his family, the covert negotiations said to be led by Trump’s team, and what his release means for the remaining hostages and ongoing ceasefire talks.

Joy erupted in Tenafly, New Jersey and Tel Aviv as Edan Alexander, the last living U.S.-Israeli hostage in Gaza, was released by Hamas after over 19 months in captivity.

His release comes just before U.S. President Donald Trump’s regional visit and amid direct Hamas-Washington ceasefire talks. Emotional scenes played out at Hostages Square and in his hometown, where supporters cheered the long-awaited announcement. Hopes for peace reignite with this symbolic humanitarian breakthrough.

Hamas has released Edan Alexander, a 21-year-old U.S.-Israeli soldier taken hostage during the October 2023 Tel Aviv attack, marking the return of the last known living American hostage. His release comes ahead of former President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East, signaling possible ceasefire negotiations. Trump’s envoy praised the gesture and urged Hamas to release the bodies of four other Americans. The move, facilitated by Qatar and Egypt, is seen as a step toward peace in a conflict that has left over 52,800 Palestinians dead since Israel’s counteroffensive began.

Einav Zangaucker, the mother of Israeli hostage Matan Zangauker, has launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after Hamas announced the release of American hostage Idan Alexander. Both men are believed to have been held in the same Gaza tunnel. While Alexander is set to return home, Matan remains captive. Einav accused Netanyahu of deliberately abandoning her son, calling him the "Angel of Death" and vowing not to stop fighting for Matan’s release. The statement has reignited public anger over the hostage situation and Netanyahu’s handling of the crisis.

Conflicting reports emerged as the IDF reportedly scaled down certain operations in Gaza to support the release of American hostage Edan Alexander. While no formal ceasefire has been declared, Israeli media confirms that some military activity is being limited to avoid disrupting the handover process. IDF troops are still engaged in combat, particularly in Gaza City’s Shejaiya. The developments come amid heightened global scrutiny and diplomatic pressure surrounding hostage negotiations and ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas has released a video showing two Israeli hostages held in Gaza—Elkana Bohbot and Yosef Haim Ohana, both abducted on October 7, 2023. In the footage, Bohbot appears weak and unresponsive, while Ohana urges the Israeli government to end the war and secure their release. Families of the hostages are demanding urgent action, criticizing the government for not doing enough. Outside Israel’s Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv, protesters held signs reading “We Can Save the Rest” and “All of Them Now,” as tensions over the stalled hostage deal intensify.

Two Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldiers, Captain Noam Ravid (23) and Sergeant Yaly Seror (20), were killed in a deadly explosion in Rafah, Gaza, while conducting a tunnel scan. The soldiers, part of the elite Yahalom unit under the Golani Brigade, were checking a booby-trapped tunnel shaft. The tragic event raises the death toll of Israeli soldiers in the ongoing Gaza offensive to at least 416. Meanwhile, Israeli operations continue as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens with looting and aid shortages escalating.

In a chilling video released by Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades, a high-level ambush unfolds in the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood of western Rafah, Gaza. Israeli soldiers operating in the area are seen walking straight into a deadly trap as resistance fighters detonate explosive devices under military vehicles and open fire in close-quarters combat. The operation, involving multiple explosive devices including Shawaz charges, results in the destruction of several IDF vehicles, including Hummers and a military truck, with confirmed casualties. Hamas claims their fighters moved in for a direct confrontation after the blast, killing and injuring more soldiers in brutal urban warfare. This ambush is part of a string of high-impact attacks being carried out by Palestinian resistance forces against the Israeli military in southern Gaza.

Overnight in Gaza, relentless airstrikes and shelling between midnight and 3 a.m. marked one of the most violent nights in recent memory. Strikes hit every corner of Gaza City—east, west, and center—leaving families devastated. A bombing on the Bakr family home killed four, while other neighborhoods like Khan Younis, Jabalia, and Rafah faced nonstop attacks. Civil defense bulldozers were destroyed, and key infrastructure was targeted. As the humanitarian crisis worsens, the strategy appears to focus on crippling Gaza’s emergency response capabilities.

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi issued a fiery warning, urging all Arab nations to arm every Palestinian in defense against what he calls the U.S.-enabled “genocidal war” on Gaza. He claims Washington is supplying Israel with weapons while turning a blind eye to mass civilian deaths, medical facility destruction, and Gaza's forced displacement. As Rafah faces encirclement, al-Houthi warns Egypt’s national security is at risk. The Houthis blame Arab regimes for past disarmament and call for immediate military support to Palestinian resistance groups. Israel, backed by the U.S., continues strikes across Gaza and Lebanon.

As Hamas signals the release of US-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander, Israeli hostage families staged a powerful demonstration in Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square. With Donald Trump expected to visit the region, families are making urgent pleas for him to push Prime Minister Netanyahu into finalizing a comprehensive hostage deal. Yehuda Cohen, father of hostage Nimrod Cohen, emotionally demanded Trump’s intervention: “Force Netanyahu to act.” With rising pressure and international attention, the families hope their public appeals can turn political will into life-saving action for their loved ones still held in Gaza.

Tensions between former allies Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are now spilling into the open, as Trump's renewed backchannel negotiations with Iran spark deep concern in Tel Aviv. With the U.S. reportedly considering a deal that may allow Iran limited uranium enrichment for civilian use, Netanyahu has privately expressed alarm, viewing any concession as a direct threat to Israeli security. The rift deepened after Trump declined to rule out enrichment during recent Muscat talks, prompting Israel’s top adviser to urgently seek clarifications in Washington.
