The pause, which began at 7 a.m. local time, was the first break in Israel’s assault on Gaza since the Hamas incursion. Sep 25 Struther Arnott, Scottish molecular biologist and chemist (cancer research), born in Larkhall, Lanarkshire (d. 2013) Israel warned Gazans not to treat the pause as a return to normal. Minutes before it began, the military dropped leaflets and sent voice texts saying “the war is not over” and forbidding those who had fled south to try to return to their homes in the north.

Israel’s retaliatory air, artillery and naval strikes alongside a ground offensive have killed about 15,000 people, the Hamas government in Gaza said.
Doron Katz Asher, a 34-year-old Israeli-German citizen, and daughters Raz, 4, and Aviv, 2, were kidnapped from a kibbutz in southern Israel on Oct. 7. Chen Dori-Roberts said he spotted his cousin Friday in footage of ambulances leaving Gaza but didn’t celebrate until her release was confirmed by Israeli officials. The Israeli military would take custody of the hostages and verify their identities, he said. A physician would examine each and administer immediate aid as necessary. The fate of the captives has consumed the Israeli public, and growing demonstrations demanding their release helped push the government into negotiations with Hamas. Their return has been meticulously planned, Agmon said. The second group was set to be released from Hamas custody at around 4pm local time, but two hours later IDF announced the hostages were being transferred to the Red Cross. Shortly after, Hamas claimed that the release was being delayed due to “Israeli violations” of a ceasefire deal. In the West Bank, a euphoric crowd greeted the Palestinian captives released by Israel. Video posted on social media showed children in Gaza running with what appeared to be pleasure rather than fear.

Sep 24 John Brunner, Britsih sci-fi author (100th Millennium), born in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, England (d. 1995) Within minutes of the halt in fighting, Gazans filled the enclave’s rubble-strewn streets under skies clear of fighter jets and drones for the first time in weeks. Relief workers increased the flow of aid to a population suffering from dwindling food, power, sanitation and health care.
There may be variations and additions to these rules. For example, if players who are sitting down, because they are "out", are able to catch a throw, then they may re-enter the play. [2] If the ball is tossed inaccurately or in an aggressive manner, then the person who threw the ball is "out". Other adaptations include disallowing players from returning the ball to the players from whom they have immediately received it (except in cases where only two players remain in the game) imposing time limits on how long players may hold the ball before being required to pass it and the teacher of the class joining in. More than 30 Palestinian prisoners were turned over to the ICRC on Friday evening at Israel’s Ofer Prison in the West Bank, Palestinian officials said. Soldiers have been told not to answer questions from recently released child hostages such as “where's mum?” to avoid “overwhelming” them before they get to a place of safety.Jens Laerke, spokesman for the United Nations humanitarian agency, OCHA, expressed hope in Geneva that the pause “leads to a longer-term humanitarian ceasefire for the benefit of the people of Gaza, Israel and beyond.” He beamed as he spoke of his wife. But when the conversation turned to the war in Gaza, his face was somber. The advice comes as 24 out of an expected initial tranche of 50 plus hostages was released in Gaza. Hamas is thought to hold 240 people it snatched during the massacre on October 7. Israel on Saturday denied that it had violated the truce agreement and vowed to continue the war to eliminate Hamas when the pause in fighting ends. Israel’s justice ministry this week published a list of roughly 300 Palestinian prisoners who could be released. Family members scoured social media Friday for news their loved ones were among those freed.
