There was a startling element in the propaganda video that the Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military branch, published on Sunday night showing the liberation of three Israeli hostages.
In Gaza City, a Hamas terrorist gave Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher, and Emily Damari a paper bag bearing the Qassam Brigades’ logo as they boarded a Red Cross SUV. The bag was referred to as a “gift bag.”
The masked terrorist then produced a certificate that said “release decision” in Arabic and Hebrew.
Later on Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces released video showing all three ladies carrying the bag, however this time the Qassam’ Brigades insignia was blurred.
The Israeli military receives the three ladies who were previously hostages of Hamas from the Red Cross.
