Something else to be thankful for as we approach this shabbat. There are still many more hostages to be freed, and Israel released 3 times the number of prisoners (many of them terrorists amd murderers themselves) to make this happen, but for better or worse, this is the price that Israel has always had to pay when Israeli victims are taken by Hamas and other terrorist regimes.
We continue to pray for the safe return of nearly 200 more abductees, and we should all remain hopeful that this war may come to an end, leading to safety and security for all, as far off and unlikely as that may seem at this moment.
May this be a shabbat shalom.
4 children, 3 mothers, 6 elderly women handed over by Hamas in deal for lull in war and release of 39 Palestinian security prisoners; 10 Thais, 1 Filipino freed in separate deal
