TERROR group Hamas are set to release six more hostages this week, according to Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Three young Israelis, including Arbel Yehud, will be rescued on Friday before another trio are freed on Saturday - finally ending their 15-month nightmare in Gaza.

Arbel's freedom will come as a relief to the watching world after she has been at the centre of a heated row for days. Fears had been growing over her condition after she wasn't apart of either of the first two batches of hostages despite the evil Iranian-proxy promising to free Israeli civilians to begin with.

On Saturday, Karina Ariev, 20, Daniela Gilboa, 20, Naama Levy, 20, and Liri Elbag, 19, were all handed over to the Red Cross by balaclava-wearing Hamas thugs. The women were all captured as Israeli soldiers rather than innocent civilians caught in the horror October 7 massacre.

Israel went on to delay the return of Gazans to northern Gaza in the as they claimed Hamas breached the ceasefire agreement by the order of the releases. Israel had reportedly asked Qatari and Egyptian mediators to get proof off of Hamas showing Arbel alive.

Confirmation was handed over as early as Saturday evening, reports the BBC. Arbel's release on Friday now means the people of Gaza will be allowed to return home, Netanyahu confirmed. It is believed that thousands of displaced Palestinians had been blocked at the military enforced border for the last two days.
