Three sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell NBC News that Hamas has released two American hostages who had been captured during the terror attack in Israel more than two weeks ago. It is not clear where things stand with the remaining hostages.

#Hostage #Israel #News
Are we going to fund every War on Earth until there’s peace?
A terrorist organization that has recently killed over 1000 people claims it is nice.
Thanks God
Alhamdulillah
Stop the genocide
1400 Jews were killed in Israel 203 were kidnapped and 5000 were wounded in one day. This is our new holocausts. Their are new fascists. Hamas will be erased from the planet
Hamas leaders had stated that they don’t take hostages. So, I can they release people that were never taken as hostages?!
Hamas releases hostages and Israel threatens to bomb hospital
Video about hamas releasing americans. Thumbnail is israel flags. Wonder who owns this station.
yippee ki yay
Just waiting for UFC294, not interested in this nonsense.
While I’m glad two hostages have been released this is nothing but a ploy buy Hamas to buy themselves time because remember they have over 200 plus hostages. These people are nothing but bargaining chips for them.
Only 2 Americans hostages, where are those 201,?
those r not important, us will have no excuse to get involve once they dont have hostage situation with hamas. there still ways to go but thats the plan
Huge breakthrough ? All hostages released would be a huge breakthrough.
Agree. This is a cynical gesture to divide opinion.
How about the innocent kibbutzniks??
Would be smart to release all hostages of all nationality. 😂 If these terrorists are curious why Israel isnt letting up its because of the events that led up to these people being taken hostage.
I’m pretty sure the “terrorists” know how the game is being played. But thanks for being “smart”
Two is not “all”. This is a tactic to delay the inevitable.
maybe hamas thinks that it can delay the inevitable by a slow drip of hostage releases. but if you think the leopard has changed its spots, you are being manipulated.
Hamas knows that their end is coming. They want to fool the U.S. not to participate in the war.
it only costed $100 milion USD, for two
Imagine the situation victims, they are long gone 🙁
Israel bombed the church in Gaza, as a Muslim I do not find it right
Watch all the updates please.
Breakthrough or Not ,.Gaza getting Ready to roll through
Child sniffer paying ransom money.
“”Be very carefull here….!
Send Palestinians water for two days.
Mother & daughter from Chicago released to the international Red Cross and being moved to Israel through Egypt. Release negotiated by Qatar. This was reported by X account Israel War Room. Thank God for their release! Praying all hostages will be released, especially the 30 children, our US citizens, and the young women being held against their will by evil doers!
How come the news is not reporting that are American soldiers on their base near Baghdad border are being fired upon
Fake news as usual
I think hamas is playing this wrong……
The problem with human shields against the west is they dont care how many of you they slaughter as long as they arent relatively european and relatively civilised,and blond hair blue eyed devils in the ukraine war….. although i dont recall slavics having blond hair blue eyes…..
But if they place like a couple of hostages on the roof of vital essential buildings……that way their hearts might skip a bit,they might even hesitate for a moment before pushing the red joystick button to drop the jdam,in any case it would be on television for all to see.
If its yellow brown or black hoatages or civilians forget it….they would just depress full trigger on their autocannons and gatling guns while shouting git sum!!!git sum!!!!at the running rice farmers and women and children.
Occasionally their media and press would show some us soldier playing with the local kids and showing their “human” side while hundreds of bombers on the other side of the merkong drops thousands of tonnes of bombs on villages and cities…..
Liar.
Thank you Lord!
“CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD,
I beg you to forgive the United States of America for all of the sins that the peoples who live in the Nation have committed, and I beg you to forgive the peoples and help guide them in a positive direction, please help them against evil. Thank you for everything CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD! Amen.”
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Please pray these words now, pray them as you read them if you cannot look and remember them 🙏 please consider beginnning daily prayer, it is a good habit that will help you if you actually do it and continue to do it
What has the United States done this is not our War .
Sources? What sources? Which one? Hamas lies always hit global media/press hard….feels like these reporters being stupid for news
They should release all hostages.
The Bombing is making an impact
What about the Palestinian hostages ????
What Palestinian hostages?
Thank you Qatar.
So what how much did Biden pay
It’s a gimmick to delay Israeli invasion
No deals with these Hamas animals
What about the other 201 hostages? Free them, too. And free Gaza from Hamas control.
What about the other 2.01 MILLION hostages? Free them, too. from Israel Regime control.
so Hamas dont beheaded people but releasing them ? that’s not what Senile Biden and US would expect ! 🤧
Only terrorists take hostages.
Agree. Israel is a terrorist state for taking 2 MILLION people as hostages in the LARGEST OPEN AIR PRISON ON EARTH.
Uh I know we paid them fairly. Those cost about 2 Billion? Ask Iran.
That still leaves 198 or so. No aid to Gaza until all hostages regardless of nationality are released.
I’ll believe it when I see it, I won’t take anything they say at face value!
I thought the killing of 1,000s of (kids) was huge, not (2) American adults being released bs
Let us hope and pray that all the hostages are freed and that the people of Gaza receive humanitarian aid and medical treatment 🕊🕯
And stop bombing
They are speaking about civilian hostages not all hostages are civilians there are a lot of soldiers and important army people I don’t think they stupid to release soldiers without releasing many thousands Palestinians prisoners
Pray to who?
Black Lives Matter stands shoulder to shoulder with Hamas❤❤❤❤ Equality for all!!!!!
Yeah im not surprised they stand with barbaric heathens.
And as a friendly gesture, israel will bomb two families and the u.s. government and main stream media will blame hamas.
What about the children? Hamas manipulation is so cynical, it is heart breaking😢
Stop acting like Israel is a victim. They did all this to themselves
Are you seriously asking them to release children in an unstable ground where they could risk the kids life?
I dont trust it until it is 💯 confirmed, we are talking about Hamas here and possible stall/ propaganda tactics.
Matthew Ch.24; Luke Ch.21:11; Book of Acts Ch.2:19-21 and “The 666 man will come out of the church and announce he is a homosexual at a pageant.” God and Jesus (see Daniel 11:37 and 2 Thessalonians Ch.2 in the Douay-Rheims Holy Bible; next closest KJV)
Sounds like Hamas is terrified of us.Thank Joe and Milley for all the taxpayer funded weapons we gave them and for making our own military woke.
⚠ Commentary on the *reasons* behind the hostage release is nothing but *hot air.* The talking heads are feeding us with one wild speculation after another instead of doing what rational people do — *wait for the facts!* Claims about “Hamas being under pressure,” while characterizing the militant group as an irredeemable terrorist organization, is just more grasping *not substantiated* by evidence. *Nobody* in the U.S. media has the foggiest idea about what precisely shaped Hamas’s decision to release these hostages. What we know so far comes from Hamas itself — that this was a “humanitarian gesture” to counter misinformation by the U.S. government.
I guess the daughter willing to entertain hamas members, well can’t blame her. You got to do everything to survive. Seems like its worth it
Im confused. They slaughter civilians, children, burn babies, and for ‘humanitarian’ reasons they are releasing two?
Same as Israel, massacre thousands of Palestinians and then asking for cease fire
When Israel started bombing Gaza, they signaled to Hamas that the hostages are without value.
Return the 200 and then be prepared to be destroyed.
You’re dreaming,
People really asking Hamas to release them all. How stupid do you think they are. Those people are one of the main reason keeping Israel out of Gaza
Terrorist 🇮🇱🇺🇸😡😡
Thanks God 🙏
That’s it
There goes America, Respect.
I thought you weren’t supposed to negotiate with terrorists?
Can’t believe anything the news media reports.
You’re a little late NNNNNBC no news!
It breaks my heart to see so many comment about race. Hate is the very reason those people were killed . Everyone should have peace when they sleep .
A woman and her daughter has been released Hamas said they have nothing to do with civilian they were arrested during big fight but your Zionists media don’t want you to know this
Loll. Why don’t they know their names? I thought these people were sorely missed and being campaigned for?
first world problems
2 out of 200… that’s 1% progress…
Muslim’s believe that heaven will come to earth when they have killed all the infidels, hindus, kafirs, christians and jews. When all of us are murdered by their hand heaven will come to earth. That is what those sick bearded monsters think.
Wow… 2 hostags out of over 200… whoppy doo… not good enough to give it publicity.
There is a clear path to resolve the current matters and put a stop to the deaths of both sides. Israel will not abandon the hostages and Hamas should value the lives of the Palestinian civilians more than holding on to the hostages. The hostages in return for a truce. It is also time for both sides to return to the 2 state solution as anything else just means a continued cycle of violence with more deaths and continued misery for decades ( as well as no betterment of the daily life of anyone ) . It will take a long time and it will be a difficult path but clearly the last 20 years have been a failure for all ( yes Israel did it before but that was in the 80-90s and it is time to try it again )
👏🏽
Hamas playing a sick game to divide opinion. Release the toddlers.
At least the hostages taken by the Palestinian resistance are being well fed and protected and have America demanding their freedom. I feel so sorry for the thousands of Palestinian hostages in Israeli prisons, they spent their entire lives being tortured yet they dont have anyone demanding they be freed.
Foolish and ignorant comment.
They must have gave up 20 terrorists from US prisons.
What did Biden pay this time? We won’t find out until after the election. Hamas and humanitarian don’t exist in the same world. More terrorists and billions I’ll bet.
Major break lol 2 of over 200 hostages realease seems very minor to me.
Voted for Biden in 2020. Will not be making that mistake again.
JESUS Lord God and Savior, I PRAY for a World Wide Repentance, Conviction of Heart, a Broken, and Contrite Heart, to Pray for Your Will, Way, and Purpose to be Done. I PRAY, and Plea YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD, upon every Innocent Man, Woman, and Child in these evil, wicked, demonic times. JESUS, You always was, and always will be In Control, and I’m with you every step of the way. In the name of Jesus Christ Lord God and Savior AMEN.
It’s only right. I mean President Biden probably _did_ help fund their attack when he released 6 Billion to Iran in exchange for some other hostages.
Americans always wanted to be a star. lol😢😅
Babies dead and they make a bid deal of these 2 women unharmed
Hamas and Palastinians will laugh at Israel if they stop the war
There all not born American let’s get that straight………… MF pushing a war agenda to protect the Jews
This is good news. Can some one from liberal media condemn behavior of Talib and Omar on this matter. Those two stubborn jihadists believe there above the earth and everything. There behavior is a prove that some influential democrats behind them and that is the only reason where those two cowards believe that way.
Too MUCH TERRORIST SUPPORTER IN U.S. SOIL
FREE PALESTINE, YOU BOZOS ARE IGNORANT! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Israeli citizens! Ethnic Jews!
Propaganda
These comments , only time will tell!
becauze im blk n live alone … my wifi service cones on when im using the bathroom or getting dressed … tmobile…

STOP old news now
i think the war stop if all hostages release then hamas terrorist punish by their crimes
The world has 24 days
Thoughts and prayers are for Israel. Love from Canada 🇨🇦
The way she tuned back, shook his hand and said “shalom” proves reality vs western media
