The families of the hostages claim that they "received with astonishment and shock" a notification about the intention to return only four deceased hostages today out of 28 being held by Hamas. "This is a blatant violation of the agreement by Hamas. We expect the Israeli government and mediators to act immediately to correct this terrible injustice. We will not give up on any male or female hostage and the mediators must enforce the terms of the agreement and extract a price from the Hamas terror organization for this violation," the headquarters stated.
