Although an agreement was reached between Hamas and Israel for a temporary truce, war still prevails in Tel Aviv.
The exchange of hostages and prisoners was scheduled for 16:00 but there was a delay and it was postponed. So shortly after 5:00 p.m., the Times of Israel reported that the process had begun, but was again delayed due to "air defense activity and explosions over Israel's southernmost city of Eilat."
Footage posted on social media shows two interceptor missiles flying over the area.
Hamas says it has decided to delay the second phase of the hostage release until Israel commits to allowing aid trucks into northern Gaza. The news was announced by the Reuters agency.
Why was the second release of hostages with Hamas delayed?
Hamas is expected to release today 13 Israeli hostages in exchange for the release of 39 Palestinian prisoners, as Olivier Rafowitz, spokesman for the Israeli army, said this afternoon, speaking to the French television network BFMTV.
Earlier today, Egyptian security sources said they had received from Hamas a list of the names of the hostages they will release today, on the second day of the implementation of the agreement between Israel and the Palestinian movement that includes a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. .
Sources with knowledge of the negotiations quoted by the Haaretz newspaper said the Israeli side pressed for the release of 14 hostages today in exchange for 42 Palestinian prisoners. However, the negotiations failed and the second phase of the agreement will continue with the planned release of 13 hostages from the Gaza Strip.
In fact, the process of releasing the second group of Israeli hostages was scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m. However, due to a "technical issue" there was a delay and Israeli news network Channel 12 reported that the proceedings were moved an hour later.
