Update from the Shiba Medical Center on the release of the abductees/spokesperson of the Shiba Medical Center
The headquarters of the families of the abductees congratulated this morning (Monday) the operation that led to the rescue of Fernando Marman and Louis Har from Hamas captivity.
Marman and Har were rescued in a joint operation by the IDF, the Shin Bet and the Israeli Defense Forces from a building in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

"We strengthen and congratulate the soldiers of the IDF, the Shin Bet and the IDF forces, who acted with strength and heroism for the release of the two abductees and the decision-makers for the brave decision," said the headquarters of the families of the abductees, who sent a message to the decision-makers: "The fate of 134 abductees has been found Now in the hands of the cabinet members ahead of the Cairo discussions.
The time for all the other abductees who are being held captive has run out.
The vigilance and fear for their fate is now increasing even more and the light hand on the trigger of the Hamas killers is putting their lives at risk."
Even among the families themselves, emotions are mixed. "First of all, this makes us happy," shared Walla Eli Elbag, the father of Leari who was kidnapped to Gaza. "On the other hand , there is also a sense of fear that they will not start guarding them even more tightly or will be more sensitive to any scenario which would endanger them.
On the other hand, we are already waiting for the hope that maybe this will speed up the negotiations."
Dani, the father of Amri Miran, who was kidnapped from his home in Nahal Oz, spoke in a similar spirit. "I wrote this morning to one of the brothers of those released from the operation: 'I envy you, but I am so happy In your happiness and the happiness of the family.
You have no idea how much it overwhelms you with happiness,'" he shared with Walla!, "It's really like that.
I am so happy, and do not look at what others have but am happy in their happiness.
When my son arrives, they too will rejoice in my joy."

Shai Binyamin, the daughter of Ron who was kidnapped to Gaza, added in a conversation with Walla: "Every release like this and every abductee who returns is happy and we really have become one big family so I am very happy for those who are already like brothers to me. But on the other hand we also cannot forget that there are 134 people who are there in the midst of a continuous nightmare and daily terror, this is a real danger to their lives. So of course we are happy and welcome this but we just want everyone to return today. We need to press those who need to be pressed to make the deal happen."

Avi Ohana, the father of Yosef Chaim Ohana, who was kidnapped to Gaza, told Wala: "I was very happy the moment I heard about the release operation early in the morning. I was very happy for those family members and it gives me hope that I hope it continues like this and there will be more good operations like this and they will release more abductees as well as my son With God's help. I am mostly happy and all the Israeli people are Arab to each other."
