Video footage appearing to show the first Israeli hostages was broadcast Sunday, capturing a chaotic scene in Gaza, with dozens more expected to be released.
After 15 months of destruction and death, reports revealed Wednesday that Israel and Hamas had reached a agreement for a temporary ceasefire. On ABC News’ “This Week,” host Whit Johnson aired the first images of the initial group of hostages being released by Hamas, who handed them over to the Red Cross.
“Hamas is in the process of releasing hostages as part of a ceasefire deal with Israel. That ceasefire took effect just hours ago at 4:15 this morning Eastern Time,” Johnson said. “It was delayed nearly three hours because Israel said it had not received the names of the three hostages who were to be released. But then those names were released and I want to show you these live images right now.”
“These are — actually this was recorded just moments ago. This is in Gaza. You can see the chaotic scene right there. It’s not clear exactly what was happening here, but our understanding is that the hostages were in some of these vans. This was the transfer between Hamas to the Red Cross,” Johnson added.
