Ceasefire implementation is apparently delayed?

Even if the ceasefire doesn't hold passed the first phase a pause on massacres+prisoner release+plus people returning to their homes is a thing to celebrate. War isn't just about fighting its about the human cost too

❗️Hebrew media reports that dozens of far-right extremist settlers tried to reach Ofer Prison to prevent the release of Palestinians, and the police are trying to stop them.

❗️ Al Jazeera reports that the hand over of the three captives has begun. Heavy presence of Qassam Brigades fighters and Red Cross vehicles in Gaza City's Al-Saraya Square.

❗️Officially, the Red Cross has received the three female Israeli captives.

🟢 Hamas' Office of Martyrs and Prisoners releases the list of the 90 female, male, and child prisoners who will be released today in exchange for three female zionist captives.

The prisoners' ages range from 15 to 68, with the dates of their imprisonment ranging from two months ago to five years ago. 21 men and 69 women will be released, including 22 aged 18 or younger (the youngest prisoners have among the longest sentences).

Among the prisoners who will be released today are 61-year-old PFLP leader Khalida Jarrar, who was held in solitary confinement for months after her abduction in January 2024; 18-year-old Zeina Barbar, whose sentence was extended just days ago; Wilaa Tanaja, who was freed in the November 2023 exchanges and then rearrested.

Each day in the Flood of the Free will see new lists of prisoners to be freed, starting with prioritizing women and child prisoners.

🚨 Government Media Office in Gaza:
—
We have begun deploying thousands of Palestinian police officers according to a government plan to maintain security and order in the Strip.

Ministries and government institutions are fully prepared to begin work according to the government plan to implement all measures that ensure life returns to normal as soon as possible.

We hope that our Palestinian people will avoid circulating rumors and false information issued by the Hebrew media or media hostile to our people, and we call on our people to be careful while moving between regions and governorates.

The blood of the martyrs fuels victory:

• The zionist entity failed to occupy Gaza.
• The zionist entity failed to return the captives through military pressure, and were only able to do so on the terms of the resistance.
• The zionist entity failed to subdue Hamas, nor its mechanisms for ensuring control and security. Hamas' forces remained active throughout Al-Aqsa Flood, and immediately expanded their work.
• The zionist entity failed to displace the Gazan people to the Sinai.
• The zionist entity failed to impose control on the border crossings.
• The zionist entity is deeply fragmented, politically and societally.
• The Generals' Plan was foiled, the governance of Gaza remains Palestinian (not "israeli" or run by Arab countries), and despite their best efforts, the zionists failed to turn the popular cradle against the resistance, as evidenced by the wide and visible support for the resistance today.

On the other hand:

• The resistance secured the release of 5,000 prisoners, including all women, all children, and all Gaza detainees.
• The resistance achieved a complete withdrawal of the IOF.
• The resistance achieved a permanent ceasefire, noted explicitly in the agreement.
• The resistance guaranteed that the crossings will be open for movement of goods and people.
• The resistance guaranteed a rebuilding and reconstruction plan for the Gaza Strip.
• The resistance caused damages of over $60 billion to the zionist entity, the global isolation of the zionist entity, the destruction of hundreds of military vehicles, the killing of 2,000 soldiers and settlers, and the wounding of thousands.

Despite the loss, it is an "absolute victory" for the Palestinian people, its popular cradle, and its fighters.

🚨 Intense armed clashes between resistance fighters and “Palestinian Authority” Security Forces have renewed around #Jenin camp, after the resistance factions announced the PA's breach of the agreement and failure to withdraw snipers and security personnel from the area.

No one is more pissed about the ceasefire in Gaza than the PA. F*** them.

🚨 Intelligence forces of the traitorous Palestinian Authority in #Ramallah abducted Al Jazeera journalist Jivara al-Badri and an Al Jazeera photographer while they were covering the moments before the release of liberated Palestinian prisoners as part of the first phase of the exchange deal.

They were transferred to Betunia police headquarters.

⭕️ Giora Eiland, architect of the 'Generals' Plan': Hamas won.

In a striking admission during a press conference broadcast on Channel 12, Maj. Gen. (res.) Giora Eiland confessed that Israel lost the war in Gaza and failed to achieve its strategic objectives. Eiland, the architect of the brutal 'Generals' Plan,' acknowledged that Hamas not only survived Israel's campaign but emerged stronger, solidifying its control over Gaza. He described the outcome as a "resounding failure" for Israel and added that there will be no renewal of the war.

The 'Generals' Plan,' which is said to have been devised to dismantle Hamas’s power, relied on inhumane measures: starving Gaza’s population, exterminating resistance, and forcibly displacing civilians from northern Gaza to isolate resistance fighters. This ruthless "surrender or starve" approach turned mass suffering into a weapon of war. However, Eiland admitted that the plan disastrously backfired, with Israel unable to prevent Hamas from regrouping and rearming under the terms of the ceasefire.

Eiland also pointed to critical strategic missteps made months before the war, suggesting that these decisions doomed Israel’s efforts from the outset.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

At this pivotal moment in the history of our Palestinian people, our heroic detainees stand on the threshold of a new phase, reflecting the will of our people and the resilience of the resistance, which has proven its loyalty to its promises and its determination to break the chains of occupation no matter the sacrifices. The honorable exchange taking place today is a living expression of the strength of our national project, which views the liberation of detainees as a unifying national achievement and a right that will not be compromised, regardless of the sacrifices.

These moments have come as the fruit of the sacrifices of our people in all arenas and the persistence of the resistance in fulfilling its promise to our detainees and people. The current exchange deal, “Flood of the Free,” represents a milestone in our struggle and an added victory to the long march of liberation, affirming that the will for freedom is stronger than all the jailer’s chains.

O great Palestinian people,
This national achievement, realized through the blood of martyrs, the suffering of the wounded, and the patience of the detainees, is evidence that the resistance is capable of imposing its will and wresting our people’s rights from the clutches of the occupation.

This moment proves that the detainees’ cause is not a passing issue but the core of our national struggle and a responsibility borne by every free Palestinian.

In this context, we affirm that today’s achievement is not the end of the road but a new step on the path to freedom and liberation. Our journey will continue until the last detainee, male or female, attains their freedom.

On this significant occasion, we emphasize the following:
1. We salute our righteous martyrs who gave their lives on the path to freedom and our heroic wounded who bled for the dignity of this people.
2. We extend a great salute to our steadfast detainees who endured in the prisons of the occupation, writing the title of freedom with their resilience.
3. We consider the “Flood of the Free” exchange deal a significant national achievement that reflects the unity of our people and their determination to secure their rights.
4. We thank all those who stood with our people and supported their rights to freedom and dignity, including free nations and supportive governments, and we call on them to continue their support until our national project is complete.

To our heroic detainees,
The resistance, which fulfilled its promise to you today, will not forget those of you who remain behind bars. This exchange is a renewed pledge on the path to liberating you all, and your freedom will remain our unwavering goal.

O our people,
This achievement is the fruit of your steadfastness, patience, and struggle. It is a glad tiding that the sacrifices you have made will not be in vain. Our people, who have faced aggression and overcome adversity, deserve this victory and more. This exchange is yet another testament that victory is born from the womb of patience and sacrifices.
