Commenting on the release of 13 Israeli captives, Daniel Hagari warned that the days ahead would be “complex” but that the Israeli army would not stop until all captives have been freed.
He called the return of captives “a moral duty” and added that “the safety of our fighters” is Israel’s top priority during the four-day break in fighting in Gaza.
During that time, according to the deal agreed to by Israel and Hamas, a total of 50 Israeli captives are set to gradually be released in exchange for about 150 Palestinian prisoners.
The pause in fighting could also be extended, with Israel saying it would add one day for every 10 additional Israeli captives released.
