Abigail Mor Edan was among 17 hostages freed on the third day of the fragile truce, which has seen Israel release Palestinian prisoners and allow aid into the Gaza Strip, according to a statement from Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum.38 mins ago"

Her parents were killed in front of her. Her father's body on top of her.
She ran to a neighbors house where she was kidnapped.
She was still 3 years old on the day of the massacre.

Israel MUST eliminate these savages that slaughter women, children and babies, and kidnap 3 year olds.

My issue with all of this... WHY does Israel have to release convicted Palestinian war criminals in exchange for innocent Israeli hostages? They're NOT the same thing. That's NOT a fair exchange.

Agreed, all releasing violent criminals in return for hostages does is encourage the taking of more hostages. Better approach would be to execute 10 convicted criminals every time ONE person is taken hostage.

Not very practical after the hostages have already been taken.

True that, (I looked at the couple of them, who were put in jail for the violent activities, but I guess we are talking about VALUES - Jewish, VS Islamic ones.

So yes, it's the unfair exchange, but Jews are willing to let the violent thugs go, in order to save some innocent kids.

So talking about whose values are closer to Christian values ( even if cultural, not religious ones,) and even keeping in mind that Jews have their own religion.

Israel achieved their normal 10 to 1 kill ratio, and with the enormous pressure around the world for this to end, and as long as Hamas gives all the hostages back, it’s possible this could be a lasting truce.

I’m not sure if Israel will press on to the more dangerous parts of Gaza.

So for the future, Israel needs to shore up their defenses as they got complacent, and as far as supplying Gaza with Israeli water, electricity, etc, those days are over. It’s gonna be up to someone else to do that. Probably us, because we have idiots for leaders. But it should be Iran’s responsibility to take care of everyone in Gaza.

I hope this little girl is surrounded by love, cherished, able to grieve and remember her beloved parents, and will have a happy life, despite this unimaginably cruel crime.

The thing that makes me angry, is how Left media is wording things. NYT headline yesterday said "Deformed" woman one of Gazan hostages released, but neglect to mention that the REASON she is deformed is because the car bomb she was driving to detonate (with 4 year old in the car too) detonated before it was supposed to.
