"We wanted to see her walk and smile once again," the journalist said, through tears, in statements to the channel where TyC Sports works.
On Monday, Hamas had released another 11 Israeli women and children, including six hostages from Argentine families, in the fourth and final exchange envisaged in the initial ceasefire agreement, which came into force on Friday last week.
In this way, Hamas released 60 Israeli hostages, in addition to another 19 of other nationalities whom it handed over outside the agreement. At the same time, Israel released 150 Palestinians.
Israel confirmed that it is extending the ceasefire for 24 hours every 10 additional hostages to the agreement who are released. Hamas agrees, meanwhile, if the Israeli state hands over 30 Palestinians.
"My aunt, like so many other people, has been taken away, kidnapped. She is supposed to be in Gaza kidnapped by Hamas, a terrorist group that despises life absolutely," Hernán Feler had said on his radio program on October 10 when the kidnapping of his relative became known.
Whatever it is today!
And if not, we will continue to wait until it is necessary, even if the soul says "please enough".
We look forward to seeing you "AUNT OPHELIA OF ALL" 💙🤍🙌 pic.twitter.com/tKdLZmpyk4

On his X account, businessman Eric Grimberg was in charge of confirming the news by assuring that "the 10 hostages to be released by Hamas are already transferred to the Red Cross" and that among the "10 women is the Argentine Ofelia Rotman, aunt of Hernán Feler".
