The story about the hospital attack has been debunked as false. The rocket hit a parking lot near the Shifa hospital and not the hospital itself. The rocket trajectory was traced and proven to have been launched by Hamas from within Gaza. It could have been a misfire or deliberate to make Israeli IDF look bad. Less than a hundred people died in this. Current pictures show that the hospital is still standing and even the solar panels on its roof are intact.

After a long delay, 17 hostages have been released by the Hamas and sent to Egypt, according to The Times of Israel. Reportedly, the Red Cross has handed these hostages to Egypt, according to the Israel Defence Forces. As per the details, the hostages include 13 Israeli citizens and four Thais, reported The Times of Israel on Sunday. The convoy carrying the hostages will head to the Kerem Shalom crossing, where Israeli officials will verify the list of names. "IDF representatives are updating their families regularly," the IDF adds.
Meanwhile, some of the families of these hostages have begun to identify and confirm the identities of these hostages who are on their way to Israel. The hostages include a 12-year-old girl named Hila Rotem, who was abducted by Hamas terrorists with her mother, Raya Rotem, 54, who was not released, according to The Times of Israel. Another hostage Emily Hand, 9, was initially thought to have been among those killed in the attack on Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7. Emily was at a sleepover at a friend's house on the Kibbutz when she was abducted. Noam Or, 17 and Alma Or, 13, were also taken hostage by Hamas terrorists from their home in Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7, alongside their father, Dror Or, 48, and their cousin, Liam Or, 18. Meanwhile, their mother, Yonat Or, was killed in the attack. However, Dror and Liam are assumed to remain hostages in Gaza, reported The Times of Israel.

17 more Israelis returned by Hamas. Israeli prison officials say a third batch of 39 Palestinian prisoners have been released after Hamas handed over 13 Israelis and four foreign nationals to the Red Cross. Palestinians in Gaza not allowed to return to bury their dead as per IDF warning. IDF continues operation despite of agreement. The exchange on the second day of the four-day truce was delayed for hours over Hamas’s allegations that Israel was violating the truce deal. At least six Palestinians have been killed in Israeli raids in the occupied West Bank since last night. Five Palestinians were killed and an explosives laboratory in the Jenin refugee camp was destroyed in an overnight counter-terror operation, the IDF announced on Sunday morning. According to the IDF, the five were killed during shootouts with soldiers. The IDF said 29 wanted Palestinians were arrested, including Osama Bani Fadl, a member of Hamas who is suspected of killing Shay Silas Nigreker, 60, and his 28-year-old son Aviad Nir, in the Palestinian village of Huwara in Samaria in August. Soldiers inside the camp seized two weapons, a large amount of ammunition, explosive charges and military equipment. Two observation posts used to track Israeli movement in the camp were destroyed. Combat engineering vehicles also uncovered improvised explosive devices placed under the road. More than 14,800 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7. In Israel, the official death toll stands at 1,200.

There is Arabian story. A Sheikh was moving with his camel. All of a sudden came a sand storm, Sheikh got the head of camel into his tent. As the Sheikh slept, the camel pushed in threw out the Sheikh and sat flat in the tent. This is hag Yehudis have done to Palestine. Rather than being thankful to Palestinians they have become to too greedy to capture whole of Palestine. UNO must clearly marked two areas one for Israel and other for Palestine as two different states where Yehudi cannot encroach further.

Video has gone viral where Israeli forces killed Palestinian boys aged eight and 15 during an hours-long raid in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank. Analysts say truce negotiations have entered a “pragmatic” phase involving various mediators and stakeholders, with Hamas signaling a willingness to extend the pause in fighting. Thirty Palestinian women and children have been released from Israeli prisons after 10 Israelis and two foreign nationals were freed from Gaza. More than 15,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7. In Israel, the official death toll stands at 1,200. The UN chief says intense negotiations have been taking place to prolong the truce in Gaza, but adds that what is needed is a “true humanitarian ceasefire”.
Guterres said the people of Gaza are in the midst of an “epic” humanitarian catastrophe. He also called for the opening of other crossings into Gaza and the streamlining of inspection mechanisms to allow more life-saving aid to cross into the territory.

Hamas-Israel Prisoner Exchange: An Analytical Study

Dr. Dalvinder Singh Grewal
Professor Emeritus Desh Bhagat University
Dalvinder45@yahoo.co.in

Giving the reasons for the launch of surprise attack on Israel, Muhammad Deif, leader of the military wing of Hamas, said in a recorded message that the group launched an “operation” so that “the enemy will understand that the time of their (a) rampaging without accountability has ended.” He cited (b) Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which it captured during the Arab-Israeli war of 1967, (c) recent Israeli police raids on the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, and (d) the detention of thousands of Palestinians in Israeli jails. The Al-Aqsa Mosque revered by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and by Jews as the Temple Mount, is among the most deeply contested sites in the holy land.[1] The detention of thousands of Palestinians in Israeli jails thus comes out to be one of the most important reason which has been played well in the attack on Israel by Hamas.
In April 2022, there were 4,450 Palestinian security prisoners in Israeli prisons – including 160 children, 32 women, and over 1000 "administrative detainees" (indefinitely incarcerated without charge).[2] As of August 2022, more than 700 persons were held in administrative detention, all of them Palestinian including 7 Israeli citizens.[2] According to the Israeli rights group HaMoked, as of 2023, there are over 1,000 detainees, the highest figure since 2003.[3] On 2 May 2023, Khader Adnan passed away following an 87-day hunger strike while in administrative detention for the 12th time.[4] In August 2023, 1,264 Palestinians were held in administrative detention in Israel, without charge or trial, the highest number in three decades.[5][6] After the start of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, the number of Palestinians held in administrative detention rose from 1,319 to 2,070 between 1 October and 1 November.[7][8][9][10] According to data from the Israeli human rights group HaMoked, as of November 2023, Israel holds 6,809 “security prisoners.” Of these, 2,313 are serving a prison sentence; 2,321 have not yet been convicted in court; 2,070 are being held under administrative detention (indefinitely imprisoned without trial or due process); and 105 are “illegal combatants” who were arrested during Hamas’ October 7 attacks in southern Israel.



Almost all of the 300 Palestinians considered for release are relatively new prisoners, arrested in the last year or two. The exceptions are 10 women from Jerusalem and the West Bank who have been imprisoned since 2015-17, most of them on charges of attempting or committing stabbing attacks against Israeli security forces — some of which ended without any harm, while others caused minor to moderate injuries.



All of this, it should be recalled, is overseen by the same judicial system that, among countless other examples, decided to close the case against an Israeli settler who stabbed a young Palestinian to death in May 2022 because “it was not possible to rule out [the suspect’s] version that he acted in self-defense.” It is the same system that, in July of this year, acquitted an Israeli police officer who shot dead Iyad al-Hallaq, an autistic Palestinian man, despite clear testimonies and video evidence proving he was unarmed and made no threat of any kind. This is in addition to the fact that Palestinian “security prisoners” are judged in a separate military court system that boasts a conviction rate of between 95 to 99 percent. Lenience, in the eyes of the Israeli apartheid regime, is a right reserved for Jews only.

While Jews who riot, attack, and even kill Palestinians are immune from prosecution, the prisoners list reminds us that Palestinians can be arrested wholesale based solely on the “intention” to carry out a violent act. One of those on the list, a 45-year-old woman from Jerusalem, has been in prison for more than two years because “she was caught in the Old City with a knife in her hand,” and “said that she intended to carry out an attack.” Meanwhile, Israel’s Kahanist national security minister is urging Jews to arm themselves while handing out weapons like candy, and many right-wing Israelis are writing countless messages, in public and private, gleefully announcing their intention to “murder as many Arabs as possible.” Sometimes “intent” doesn’t even appear on the list of charges. An 18-year-old from Jerusalem was “arrested along with others because he cried out ‘Allahu Akbar.’” An 18-year-old woman from the West Bank has been imprisoned for months for “incitement on Instagram.” The Palestine prisoners have been treated very badly. Israeli army abuses Palestinian prisoners. Though utterly forbidden, the torture and ill-treatment of Palestinian detainees has been to the extreme. [11][12][13[14]

In my earlier article I have specially mentioned that purpose of Hamas of attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 was the outburst against continuous repression of Palestinians by putting them in jail for minor offences and encroachment of Palestinian lands by Israel, non-acceptance of Palestine as an independent authority, abduct as many Israelis as they could. Hamas knows that they do not have any military power to fight with Israel. Above all USA and Europe had been backing Israel feverishly. In that case their fight has to be of different type where they gain something worthwhile. One major problem was the Palestinians being made prisoners at a large scale and held without trial for ages. This has made them to feel that under the eyes of Israel they are even worse than slaves. Hamas found abduction of Israelis is the only way to get their prisoners released from Israel. This exchange process is not new between the two. To get their people back from Israeli prisons they have been abducting Israelis since 1948 and getting their people released from Israeli jails. Israeli prisoner exchanges refer to exchanges of prisoners during the Arab–Israeli conflict. Israel has exchanged POWs with its Arab neighbors, and has released about 7,000 Palestinian prisoners to secure freedom for 19 Israelis and to retrieve the bodies of eight others.

The exchange was agreed upon with the mediation of Qatar, Egypt and USA. Israel said on Tuesday that 10 of its citizens and two Thai nationals were freed by Hamas and had been returned to Israel, bringing the total number of freed captives to 86 from about 240 people taken to the Gaza Strip after Hamas’s October 7 attacks on Israel. Soon after, Israel released 30 Palestinians from its jails, bringing the total number of freed prisoners to 180. The list of released Palestinians included the names of 15 children – 12 from Jerusalem and three from the occupied West Bank – and 15 women – five from Jerusalem and 10 from the West Bank. In addition Israel freed 30 Palestinians after 10 Israelis and two foreigners were released by Hamas in Gaza. With this, the pause in Israel bombing has been extended to 6 days. It may go on with the release of more prisoners. [15]

The first exchanges took place after the 1948 Arab-Isreli war when Israel exchanged all its about 5000 Palestinian prisoners and POWs from Arab armies in exchange for all Israeli soldiers and civilians taken captive during the war.[16]

On December 8, 1954, a five-man Israel Defecne Forces (IDF) patrol operating on the Syrian border was abducted and tortured by the Syrian Army. One of the soldiers, Uri Ilan, committed suicide while in captivity after being falsely informed by his captors that his fellow soldiers had been killed.[2][3] The four surviving POWs and Ilan's body were returned on March 29, 1956, in exchange for 40 Syrian soldiers captured during various Israeli military operations.[16]

Following the 1956 Suez Crisis, Israel exchanged 5,500 Egyptian prisoners captured during the campaign and 77 others who were captured during military operations from before the war, in exchange for an Israeli pilot taken prisoner during the war, and three soldiers taken captive in pre-war attacks.[16]

On February 21, 1962, Syria exchanged the body of an Israeli soldier it was holding for a Syrian soldier in Israeli captivity.[16]

On December 21, 1963, 11 Israeli soldiers and civilians captured by Syria throughout the years since Israel's independence were exchanged for 18 Syrian prisoners in Israel. [16]

During the 1967 Six Day war, Israel took 4,338 Egyptian soldiers and 899 civilians, 553 Jordanian soldiers and 366 civilians, and 367 Syrian soldiers and 205 civilians captive, while 15 Israeli soldiers and the bodies of two more fell into Arab captivity. All of them were released following the war. Israeli spies imprisoned in Egypt since the 1950s, two Israeli naval commanders captured shortly after the war, and the body of an Israeli soldier who was abducted a year before the war and subsequently died in prison were also released.[16]

On April 2, 1968, 12 Jordanian soldiers taken prisoner during the Battle of Karameh were released in exchange for the body of a missing Israeli soldier. The Jordanians were supposed to have returned two more bodies, but the coffins were found to contain only dirt, and the soldiers are still considered missing.[16]

In July, 1968 an El-Al airliner was hijacked to Algeria. The twelve Israeli crewmen and passengers were exchanged for 16 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. The Israeli government later denied that there had been a deal.[17].[4]

On December 7, 1969, two Israeli citizens whose plane was hijacked to Damascus, and two Israeli pilots, Giora Rom and Nissim Ashkenazi who were shot down over the Suez Canal in the War of Attrition, were exchanged for 71 Egyptian and Syrian prisoners held in Israel.

On January 1, 1970, a night watchman in Metulla, Shmuel Rosenwasser, was abducted by Fatah. More than a year later Rosenwasser was freed in exchange for Mahmoud Hijazi, a Fatah prisoner in Israel. [18] [5] Hijazi was wounded and captured in Fatah's first military attack on Israel, January 1, 1965, and sentenced to 30 years in prison.

On June 9, 1972, an IDF force captured 5 Syrian officers patrolling near the Israel-Lebanon border, and they were exchanged for 3 Israeli pilots in Syrian captivity.[16]

On June 3, 1973, 3 Israeli Air Force pilots in Syrian captivity for three years were exchanged for 46 Syrian prisoners. [16]

During the October 1973 Yom Kippur War, Egypt and Syria took 293 Israeli prisoners, while Israel captured 8,372 Egyptians, 392 Syrians, 13 Iraqis, and 6 Moroccans. All these prisoners were exchanged during November 15–22, 1973. During the exchange, both sides also swapped prisoners from the War of Attrition. [16]

On April 4, 1975, Egypt returned the bodies of 39 IDF soldiers killed during the Yom Kippur War in exchange for 92 terrorists and security prisoners held in Israel.[16]

In June 1975, Israel released 20 prisoners from the Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula. In exchange, Egypt gave Israel the bodies of Eliyahu Hakim and Eliyahi Bet-Zuri, two Jewish fighters of the pre-state underground militia Lehi who had been hanged in 1945 for having assassinated British politician Lord Moyne in Cairo in November 1944.

During the Israeli invasion of Lebanon (the Litani Opeeration) IDF soldier Avraham Amram was captured in a clash on April 5, 1978, with Palestinian PFLP-GC forces near Rashidieh camp in South Lebanon. Four other Israeli soldiers were killed while two others managed to escape to Israeli held territory. He was exchanged March 14, 1979, for 76 convicted Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, 20 of whom "with blood on their hands." [19] The prisoner swap was described as Israel's "first prisoner exchange with an Arab terrorist organization"[12][20] Among those released in the exchange was Hafez Dalkamoni, who would later be described as one of the “key-aids” of Ahmed Jbril, the leader of the PFLP-GC. In 1988 he was arrested in West Germany on suspicion of terrorist activities. He is believed by some to have led the cell that carried out the Lockeerbie bombing.[21]

On September 3, 1982, four Palestinian Fatah fighters surprised an IDF outpost near Bhamdoun in central Lebanon. The commander of the Palestinian squad was Eissa Hajjo. Eight IDF soldiers from the Nahal Brigade surrendered without a fight and were taken prisoners by the Palestinians. Their behavior was deemed "unacceptable" by IDF Chief of Staff Moshe levy. [22] The pro-SyrianPFLC-GCled by Ahmad Jibril, helped the Fatah fighters and their prisoners with transportation away from the frontline. PFLP-GC kept two of the Israeli prisoners.

Six of these soldiers (Eliyahu Abutbul, Danny Gilboa, Rafael Hazan, Reuven Cohen, Avraham Mindvelsky, and Avraham Kronenfeld) were released November 23, 1983, in exchange for 4,765 Palestinians and Lebanese imprisoned at Ansar camp during the 1982 Lebanon war and 65 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails.[23][24

In 1984 Israel swapped 291 Syrian prisoners and the bodies of 72 others in exchange for six Israeli prisoner and five bodies.[25]

The remaining two soldiers from the Bhamdoun raid in the hands of PFLP-GC (Yosef Grof and Nissim Salem), as well as a third IDF prisoner (Hezi Shai)) captured during the battle of Sultn Ya’quob, also held by the PFLP-GC, were released May 20, 1985, in an exchange known as the Jibril Agreement for 1,150 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails. Among those released were 380 prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment.[24]

Israel has released Palestinians in prisoner exchange agreements concluded with various Palestinian militia factions. In 1985, Israel released 1,150 prisoners, including Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, in exchange for three Israeli POWs being held by Ahmed Jibril.[25] The 1995 Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip called for the release of Palestinian detainees in stages, as part of a series of "confidence-building measures".[26][27] Upon the Israeli withdrawal from populated Palestinian centers in 1995, many Palestinians in military jails were transferred to jails inside Israel, which some Palestinian activists said was a breach of articles 49 and 76 of the Geneva Conventions prohibiting deportations.[28][29]

During the so-called "Jibril deal" several controversial prisoners, such as Kozo Okamoto were released. [16][23][24][30]

July 1985 – Israel frees more than 700 Lebanese detainees. Shi'ite leaders say their freedom was guaranteed in exchange for the return of 39 foreign passengers from the hijacking of TWA flight 847 Israel denies a connection.[31]

On September 12, 1991, the body of IDF Druz soldier Samir Assad, was returned to Israel in exchange for two members of the Palestinian DFLP faction. Assad was killed outside Sidon in 1983.[16]

Two Israeli soldiers, Yosef Fink and Rachmim Alsheich, were killed in a Hezbollah attack on an IDF roadblock atBeit Yahoun in southern Lebanon on July 17, 1986. Their bodies were retained by the Lebanese and only released on July 21, 1996, in exchange for the bodies of 123 Lebanese fighters held by Israel.[16] Hezbollah released 17 soldiers from the South Labanon Army (SLA) while the SLA released 45 detainees from the Khiam prison.[32]

On May 25, 1998, the remains of IDF soldier Itamar Ilyah was exchanged for 65 Lebanese prisoners and the bodies of 40 Hezbollah fighters and Lebanese soldiers captured by Israel.[10] Among those returned to Lebanon, were the remains of Hadi Nasrallah, the son of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hasan Nasrullah, who was killed in a clash with IDF the year before. Ilyah was killed in a devastating Hezbollah ambush at Ansaria, where 12 soldiers from the elite naval commando unit Shavetet 13 were killed on September 5, 1997.[16]

In 2003, Israel released the remains of two Hezbollah members, in exchange for allowing a German mediator to visit the Israeli Col. Elhanan Tannebaum held by Hezbollah, kidnapped in Dubai in 2000.[25]

Over 400 Palestinian and 30 Lebanese prisoners, including Hezbollah leaders ash-Sheikh Abdul-Karim and Mustfa Dirani, as well as the remains of 59 Lebanese killed by Israel, were exchanged in 2004 for the bodies of three IDF soldiers (Adi Avitan, Benny Avraham and Omar Souad) captured in the Sheba Farms area in 2000 as well as Elhanan Tannebaum .[23]

In October 2007 Israel and Hezbollah agreed to exchange Hassan Aqil, a civilian Hezbollah member captured in 2006, and the remains of two Hezbollah fighters killed in the 2006 Lebanon war and subsequently brought to Israel, for the remains of Gabriel Dwait, an Israeli resident who drowned in 2005 and was washed ashore in Lebanon[25][26] .

In January 2008 Hezbollah Secretary General Hasan nasarullah held a speech at the annual Ashura celebration in Beirut where he accused Israel of dragging its feet in the prisoner exchange negotiations. He also disclosed that the organization, apart from two captive soldiers, were also holding the partial remains of several other soldiers killed in the war. He claimed that the IDF had "lied" to the relatives when they returned supposedly intact bodies for burial [27].[17]

Nasrallah's speech aimed at speeding up the negotiations with Israel but it created a lot of bad blood in Israel, both among the relatives of those who were led to believe that their bodies had been buried intact and among Israeli politicians who accused Hezbollah of waging "psychological warfare" against Israel. Several ministers called for the "elimination" of the Hezbollah leader.[28][29]

On June 1, 2008, Israel released the Lebanese prisoner Nasim Nisr, in exchange for which Hezbollah handed over the partial remains of up to 20 Israeli soldiers killed during the 2006 Lebnon War.[30][31]

In July 2008 Israel released long time serving Lebanese prisoner Samir al-Quntar, four Hezbollah fighters captured in the 2006 Lebanonn War and the bodies of 199 Palestinian, Lebanese of Arab fighters captured by Israel in the past three decades. Kuntar had been convicted for his role in the 1979 Nahariya Attack, which resulted in the deaths of four Israelis, including two small children. According to eyewitness accounts, Kuntar bludgeoned a four-year-old girl to death[32][33]. In exchange Hezbollah released the bodies of two Israeli soldiers (Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev) captured in a cross border rraid July 12, 2006. [34]

On October 18, 2011, captured IDF tank gunner Gilad Shalit, captured by the Palestinian militant organization Hamas in 2006, was released in exchange for 1027 Plestine Prisoners held in Israel. [35]

the 2023 Israel-Hamas war, a series of exchanges were made between Israel and Hamas to exchange militant-held hostages for Palestinian prisoners. The negotiations were brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, and were part of a temporary ceasefire agreement.[36]

In November 2023, in exchange for the 240 hostages taken on Hamas' October 7th attack,[37][38] Israel propositioned to release 300 prisoners, most of them women and children.[39] Over two-thirds of these prisoners had not been formally convicted of any crime or charged with any crime.[39] As of November 28th, 150 prisoners have been released.[40] Israel has banned large gatherings in the West Bank, making celebrating these returns difficult.[38]

Conclusion
Abduction has thus been a successful method for Palestinians as Israelis are very touchy about their people in Palestine control and have been exchanging their soldiers and civilians for Palestinian prisoners. Hence Hamas abducted 240 or so Israelis so that it could exchange its prisoners for Israelis and also use the large number for pressing for a ceasefire and have an independence and un-interfered status as a state.

ਹਮਾਸ-ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਕੈਦੀ ਅਦਲਾ-ਬਦਲੀ ਤੋਂ ਭਾਰਤ ਲਈ ਸਬਕ

ਡਾ ਦਲਵਿੰਦਰ ਸਿੰਘ ਗਰੇਵਾਲ
ਪ੍ਰੋ ਐਮਰੀਟਸ ਦੇਸ਼ ਭਗਤ ਯੂਨੀਵਰਸਿਟੀ

ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਉਤੇ ਅਚਾਨਕ ਹਮਲੇ ਦੀ ਸ਼ੁਰੂਆਤ ਦੇ ਕਾਰਨ ਦੱਸਦੇ ਹੋਏ, ਹਮਾਸ ਦੇ ਫੌਜੀ ਵਿੰਗ ਦੇ ਨੇਤਾ ਮੁਹੰਮਦ ਦੇਈਫ ਨੇ ਇੱਕ ਰਿਕਾਰਡ ਕੀਤੇ ਸੰਦੇਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਹਮਾਸ ਨੇ ਇੱਹ "ਅਪਰੇਸ਼ਨ" ਕੀਤਾ ਤਾਂ ਜੋ "ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣ ਸਮਝ ਸਕੇ ਕਿ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਭੜਕਾਹਟ ਦਾ ਸਮਾਂ ਬਿਨਾਂ ਜਵਾਬਦੇਹੀ ਦੇ ਖਤਮ ਹੋ iਗਆ ਹੈ। ” ਉਸਨੇ ਪੱਛਮੀ ਕੰਢੇ (ਵੈਸਟ ਬੈਂਕ) 'ਤੇ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਦੇ ਕਬਜ਼ੇ ਦਾ ਹਵਾਲਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ, ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਨੇ 1967 ਦੀ ਅਰਬ-ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀ ਜੰਗ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਹਾਸਲ ਕੀਤਾ ਸੀ, ਹਾਲ ਹੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਲ-ਅਕਸਾ ਮਸਜਿਦ ਉਤੇ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀ ਪੁਲਿਸ ਦੇ ਛਾਪੇ, ਅਤੇ ਹਜ਼ਾਰਾਂ ਫਲਸਤੀਨੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਨਜ਼ਰਬੰਦੀ ਜਿੱਥੇ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਦੀਆਂ ਜੇਲ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਬੰਦ ਹਨ।

ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀ ਮਨੁੱਖੀ ਅਧਿਕਾਰ ਸਮੂਹ ਹਾਮੋਕੇਡ ਦੇ ਅੰਕੜਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ, ਨਵੰਬਰ 2023 ਤੱਕ, ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਵਿੱਚ 6,809 "ਸੁਰੱਖਿਆ ਕੈਦੀ" ਹਨ। ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ 2,313 ਜੇਲ੍ਹ ਦੀ ਸਜ਼ਾ ਕੱਟ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ; 2,321 ਨੂੰ ਅਜੇ ਤੱਕ ਅਦਾਲਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੋਸ਼ੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਠਹਿਰਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ; 2,070 ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਸ਼ਾਸਕੀ ਨਜ਼ਰਬੰਦੀ ਅਧੀਨ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਜਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ (ਮੁਕੱਦਮੇ ਜਾਂ ਉਚਿਤ ਪ੍ਰਕਿਰਿਆ ਤੋਂ ਬਿਨਾਂ ਅਣਮਿੱਥੇ ਸਮੇਂ ਲਈ ਕੈਦ); ਅਤੇ 105 "ਗੈਰ-ਕਾਨੂੰਨੀ ਲੜਾਕੂ" ਹਨ ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦੱਖਣੀ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਹਮਾਸ ਦੇ 7 ਅਕਤੂਬਰ ਦੇ ਹਮਲਿਆਂ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਗ੍ਰਿਫਤਾਰ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ।

7 ਅਕਤੂਬਰ, 2023 ਨੂੰ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਉਤੇ ਹਮਾਸ ਦੇ ਹਮਲੇ ਦੇ ਉਦੇਸ਼ ਦਾ ਮੁੱਖ ਪੱਖ ਇਹ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਹਮਾਸ ਨੇ ਯਹੂਦੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਅਪਣੀ ਸੁਰਖਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਭੂੱਲਾ ਕੇ ਅਪਣੇ ਪੁਰਬ ਮਨਾਉਂਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਅਤੇ ਸੁਰੱਖਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਸੂਹ ਏਜੰਸੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਬੇਪਰਵਾਹੀ ਵੇਲੇ ਸਫਲਤਾ ਸਹਿਤ ਹਮਲਾ ਕੀਤਾ। ਫਲਸਤੀਨੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਮਾਮੂਲੀ ਅਪਰਾਧਾਂ ਲਈ ਜੇਲ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਡੱਕ ਕੇ ਅਤੇ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਫਲਸਤੀਨੀਆਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਜ਼ਮੀਨਾਂ 'ਤੇ ਕਬਜ਼ਾ ਕਰਨ, ਫਲਸਤੀਨ ਨੂੰ ਸਵੀਕਾਰ ਨਾ ਕਰਨ ਦੇ ਵਿਰੁੱਧ ਲਗਾਤਾਰ ਜਬਰ ਦਾ ਇਹ ਬੜਾ ਜ਼ਬਰਦਸਤ ਵਿਰੋਧ ਸੀ। ਜਿਤਨੇ ਵੀ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਹ ਅਗਵਾ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੇ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੇ ਸਨ,ਅਗਵਾ ਕੀਤੇ। ਹਮਾਸ ਜਾਣਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਕੋਲ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਨਾਲ ਲੜਨ ਲਈ ਕੋਈ ਫੌਜੀ ਤਾਕਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ। ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਧ, ਅਮਰੀਕਾ ਅਤੇ ਯੂਰਪ ਬੁਖਾਰ ਨਾਲ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਦੀ ਹਮਾਇਤ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਸਨ। ਉਸ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਲੜਾਈ ਵੱਖਰੀ ਕਿਸਮ ਦੀ ਹੋਣੀ ਚਾਹੀਦੀ ਹੈ ਜਿੱਥੇ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਕੁਝ ਲਾਭਦਾਇਕ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ. ਇੱਕ ਵੱਡੀ ਸਮੱਸਿਆ ਇਹ ਸੀ ਕਿ ਫਲਸਤੀਨੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਵੱਡੇ ਪੱਧਰ 'ਤੇ ਕੈਦੀ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਜਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਉਮਰਾਂ ਤੱਕ ਬਿਨਾਂ ਮੁਕੱਦਮੇ ਦੇ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ। ਇਸ ਨਾਲ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਮਹਿਸੂਸ ਹੋਇਆ ਕਿ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਦੀਆਂ ਨਜ਼ਰਾਂ ਹੇਠ ਉਹ ਗੁਲਾਮਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਵੀ ਭੈੜੇ ਹਨ। ਹਮਾਸ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਕੈਦੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਤੋਂ ਛੁਡਾਉਣ ਦਾ ਇੱਕੋ ਇੱਕ ਤਰੀਕਾ ਲੱਭਿਆ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਅਗਵਾ ਕਰਨਾ।

ਦੋਵਾਂ ਵਿਚਕਾਰ ਇਹ ਵਟਾਂਦਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਕਿਰਿਆ ਨਵੀਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ। ਆਪਣੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀ ਜੇਲ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਵਾਪਸ ਲਿਆਉਣ ਲਈ ਉਹ 1948 ਤੋਂ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਅਗਵਾ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀ ਜੇਲ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਰਿਹਾਅ ਕਰਵਾ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ਪਹਿਲੀ ਅਦਲਾ-ਬਦਲੀ 1948 ਦੀ ਅਰਬ-ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀ ਜੰਗ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਹੋਈ ਜਦੋਂ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਨੇ ਯੁੱਧ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਬੰਦੀ ਬਣਾਏ ਗਏ ਸਾਰੇ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀ ਸੈਨਿਕਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਨਾਗਰਿਕਾਂ ਦੇ ਬਦਲੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਸਾਰੇ 5000 ਫਲਸਤੀਨੀ ਕੈਦੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਅਰਬ ਫੌਜਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਜੰਗੀ ਕੈਦੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਅਦਲਾ-ਬਦਲੀ ਕੀਤੀ। ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀ ਕੈਦੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਅਦਲਾ-ਬਦਲੀ ਅਰਬ-ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀ ਸੰਘਰਸ਼ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਕੈਦੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਅਦਲਾ-ਬਦਲੀ ਨੂੰ ਦਰਸਾਉਂਦੀ ਹੈ। ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਅਰਬ ਗੁਆਂਢੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਯੁੱਧਬੰਦੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਆਦਾਨ-ਪ੍ਰਦਾਨ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ 19 ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਆਜ਼ਾਦੀ ਅਤੇ ਅੱਠ ਹੋਰਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਲਾਸ਼ਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਲਗਭਗ 7,000 ਫਲਸਤੀਨੀ ਕੈਦੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਰਿਹਾਅ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ।

ਇਸ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ 1956, 1962, 1963, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1978,, 1981,1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1986, 1995, 1997,1998, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2011 ਅਤੇ ਹੁਣ 2023 ਵਿੱਚ ਕੈਦੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਅਦਲਾ ਬਦਲੀ ਹੋਈ। ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਡੀ ਅਦਲਾ ਬਦਲੀ 1956 ਦੇ ਸੁਏਜ਼ ਸੰਕਟ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਹੋਈ ਜਦ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਨੇ ਮੁਹਿੰਮ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਫੜੇ ਗਏ 5,500 ਮਿਸਰੀ ਕੈਦੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ 77 ਹੋਰਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇੱਕ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀ ਪਾਇਲਟ ਅਤੇ ਤਿੰਨ ਸੈਨਿਕਾਂ ਦੇ ਬਦਲੇ ਬਦਲਿਆ ਜੋ ਯੁੱਧ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਫੌਜੀ ਕਾਰਵਾਈਆਂ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਫੜੇ ਗਏ ਸਨ। 1967 ਦੇ ਛੇ ਦਿਨਾਂ ਯੁੱਧ ਦੌਰਾਨ, ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਨੇ 4,338 ਮਿਸਰੀ ਸੈਨਿਕ ਅਤੇ 899 ਨਾਗਰਿਕ, 553 ਜਾਰਡਨ ਦੇ ਸੈਨਿਕ ਅਤੇ 366 ਨਾਗਰਿਕ, ਅਤੇ 367 ਸੀਰੀਆਈ ਸੈਨਿਕ ਅਤੇ 205 ਨਾਗਰਿਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਬੰਦੀ ਬਣਾ ਲਿਆ, ਜਦੋਂ ਕਿ 15 ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀ ਸੈਨਿਕ ਅਤੇ ਦੋ ਹੋਰ ਦੀਆਂ ਲਾਸ਼ਾਂ ਅਰਬ ਗ਼ੁਲਾਮੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਆ ਗਈਆਂ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਸਾਰਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਯੁੱਧ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਰਿਹਾਅ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਗਿਆ।

ਕਤਰ, ਮਿਸਰ ਅਤੇ ਅਮਰੀਕਾ ਦੀ ਵਿਚੋਲਗੀ ਨਾਲ ਐਕਸਚੇਂਜ 'ਤੇ ਸਹਿਮਤੀ ਬਣੀ ਸੀ। ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਨੇ ਮੰਗਲਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਹਮਾਸ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਉਸ ਦੇ 10 ਨਾਗਰਿਕਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਦੋ ਥਾਈ ਨਾਗਰਿਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਰਿਹਾਅ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਵਾਪਸ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ, ਜਿਸ ਨਾਲ 7 ਅਕਤੂਬਰ ਨੂੰ ਹਮਾਸ ਦੇ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ 'ਤੇ ਹਮਲੇ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਗਾਜ਼ਾ ਪੱਟੀ ਲਿਜਾਏ ਗਏ ਲਗਭਗ 240 ਲੋਕਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਰਿਹਾਅ ਕੀਤੇ ਗਏ ਬੰਦੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਕੁੱਲ ਗਿਣਤੀ 86 ਹੋ ਗਈ ਸੀ। ਇਸ ਤੋਂ ਤੁਰੰਤ ਬਾਅਦ, ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੀਆਂ ਜੇਲ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ 30 ਫਲਸਤੀਨੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਰਿਹਾਅ ਕੀਤਾ, ਜਿਸ ਨਾਲ ਰਿਹਾਅ ਕੀਤੇ ਗਏ ਕੈਦੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਕੁੱਲ ਗਿਣਤੀ 180 ਹੋ ਗਈ। ਰਿਹਾਅ ਕੀਤੇ ਗਏ ਫਲਸਤੀਨੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਸੂਚੀ ਵਿੱਚ 15 ਬੱਚਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਮ ਸ਼ਾਮਲ ਹਨ - 12 ਯੇਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਦੇ ਅਤੇ ਤਿੰਨ ਕਬਜ਼ੇ ਵਾਲੇ ਪੱਛਮੀ ਕੰਢੇ ਤੋਂ - ਅਤੇ 15 ਔਰਤਾਂ - ਪੰਜ ਇੱਥੋਂ ਦੀਆਂ। ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਅਤੇ ਵੈਸਟ ਬੈਂਕ ਤੋਂ 10. ਇਸ ਤੋਂ ਇਲਾਵਾ ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਨੇ ਗਾਜ਼ਾ ਵਿਚ ਹਮਾਸ ਦੁਆਰਾ 10 ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਦੋ ਵਿਦੇਸ਼ੀ ਨਾਗਰਿਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਰਿਹਾਅ ਕੀਤੇ ਜਾਣ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ 30 ਫਲਸਤੀਨੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਰਿਹਾਅ ਕੀਤਾ। ਇਸ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ, ਇਜ਼ਰਾਈਲ ਬੰਬਾਰੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਵਿਰਾਮ ਨੂੰ 6 ਦਿਨਾਂ ਤੱਕ ਵਧਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਹੋਰ ਕੈਦੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਰਿਹਾਈ ਨਾਲ ਅੱਗੇ ਵਧ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ।

The current Israeli offensive to eradicate Hamas is 100% due to the Hamas attack on October the 7th, 2023. Without this attack, status quo would have continued. Dr. Dalvinder Singh must have put in innumerable hours of diligent research to produce this detailed article about the history of prisoner exchanges between the two sides and is to be lauded. We all know that the status quo was not acceptable to either Hamas or Israel. What is the solution to this long festering sore on humanity?

Only solution to the problem is to stop all military activity; sit on table and discuss acceptance of two states theory as independent identities (Israel and Palestine) with no interference from the other; evacuation of all occupied territories by Israel and accept Jerusalem as an independent entity like Vatican. USA and Israel must take responsibility to rebuild all destroyed buildings in Gaza and ensure rehabilitation of all Palestinians. Israel should also release all Palestininan prisoners in exchange of all Israelis abducted.

Israel has resumed bombing and combing of Gaza ferociously. A Hamas official tells Al Jazeera negotiations on prisoner exchanges are now over and will not resume until Israel halts it attack and hands over all Palestinian prisoners. Israel ordered its Mossad negotiating team in Doha to return to Israel because of what it called an “impasse”. Israel renews its bombardment of Gaza, hitting areas across the enclave after the end of a week-long truce. At least 15,207 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7. In Israel, the official death toll stands at about 1,200.

Two state solution appears logical but it is guaranteed to fail. For this solution to work, Hamas has to remove the demand to remove Israel from the face of the earth. This demand is in the Hamas founding charter.

Hamas wants to finish Israel: Israel wants to finish Hamas. These are mere rhetoric since these are not meant to achieve. Warring nations always talk this way.

It is also in mandate of Netanyahu cabinet that there is no Palestine.

I do not think that Netanyahu will survive this conflict since Israelis are against him. Hamas too may change its stance if they find pece a their door.
Palestinian health officials say nearly 180 Palestinians have been killed in renewed Israeli bombardments of Gaza following the expiration of the truce with Hamas. Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad say they resumed launching rockets towards cities in southern and central Israel. The Palestinian Red Crescent says Israeli forces are preventing aid trucks from entering Gaza via the Rafah border crossing. Mediators Qatar, Egypt, and the United States say they are working on reinstating the humanitarian truce in Gaza. A mother and her son were killed after Israeli artillery hit the town of Hula in southern Lebanon, according to reports; A Hezbollah fighter was also killed in the attack, which came shortly after the group claimed a strike on Israeli soldiers.

Muslim hatered for jews has existed well before Israel ever came into being.
“If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more ‎violence. If the Jews put ‎down their weapons ‎today, there would be no ‎more Israel’‎” Golda Meir.
