Four Israeli Women to Be Freed in Hamas Hostage Exchange, But Two Young Boys Remain MissingIn a significant development in the ongoing hostage crisis, four young female Israeli soldiers held captive by Hamas for nearly a year and a half will be released on Saturday. The exchange, which marks the second phase of a negotiated agreement, brings hope for the families of these women but casts a darker shadow over the fate of two young Bibas brothers who remain missing. The identities of the four women, Liri Albag, Naama Levi, Daniela Gilboa, and Karina Ariev, were confirmed by Hamas officials and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These women were captured during the devastating attack on October 7, 2023, when Hamas militants stormed the Nahal Oz military base in southern Israel. The release follows the initial exchange of three hostages on January 18, 2024, and is part of a phased operation that aims to secure the freedom of all 33 hostages held by Hamas - including 12 women and children, 10 men over 50, and 11 younger men. However, amidst the celebrations for the imminent release, the families of the Bibas brothers, aged two and five, continue to grapple with agonizing uncertainty. They have received no information regarding their whereabouts or condition from Hamas, fueling fears about their safety. The aunt of the brothers, Ofri Bibas-Levy, expressed her profound anguish in an interview with NBC News, stating that the lack of knowledge is unbearable and prevents any process of healing. While Hamas has been known to manipulate information and use false death reports as a form of psychological warfare, the prolonged silence surrounding the Bibas brothers raises serious concerns.
