More Israeli hostages freed by Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners – BBC News
Hamas has released 17 more hostages, including 13 Israelis and four Thai citizens. It’s the second group of captives to be freed in an agreement that includes a four-day truce between Israel and Hamas.
The hostages were transferred by the International Red Cross through the Rafah border crossing from Gaza into Egypt where they were handed to the Israeli authorities.
It’s understood that 39 Palestinian prisoners held in Israel are being released in return for the latest hostages being freed.

Americans will head to the polls in 17 days to decide how the rest of Donald Trump’s presidency will play out.
Thousands of races are taking place across the US, at different levels of government, on 3 November. But the main event for voters will be electing members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, the two chambers that make up Congress. Both of them are currently controlled by the Republicans, the president’s party.
The success or failure of Trump’s final two years in office could rest on the outcome.
The BBC examines the key battleground states and what the Republicans and Democrats are doing to win these crucial midterms.

Is Washington leaving Saudi Arabia to fend for itself?
Last week, Houthi rebels launched a series of missile strikes on Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital. Surveillance footage showed a fireball erupting as airport passengers ran for cover. At least fourteen people have been killed and hundreds were injured.
The attack is the latest escalation in a decade-long war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in neighbouring Yemen. The Saudis have long relied on financial, military and intelligence support from the United States, particularly in their fight against the Houthis. But Washington so far has shown little appetite for direct involvement in the fighting.
So why is the United States holding back? And what does that mean for the people caught in the middle?
The BBC’s chief international investigations correspondent, Nawal Al-Maghafi, recently reported from inside Yemen and joins The Global Story’s Asma Khalid to discuss why this conflict is escalating and what might happen next.

A Kenyan judge has started to deliver a verdict in a mass murder case involving doomsday preacher Paul Mackenzie.
Mackenzie and 29 of his followers are being charged with the murder of 191 people, all but one of them children.
His cult is alleged to have forced children to starve to death so that they could “meet Jesus”.
Mackenzie and the 29 others have all pleaded not guilty to murder, repeatedly insisting that nobody was forced to die.

The keyword here to know what side the news opposes is.
"Palestine prisoners"
"Israel hostages"
This media sides with israel for sure 😢

It is quite obvious your reporting is one sided, you provide information about this hostage situation…. YOU neglected to mention that this is a trade of hostages…. so What hostages does israel hold? I believe there is many women and CHILDREN held in Israeli prisons who have been held for years without charges, representation, or convictions FOR YEARS… You fail to tell this side of the story… You fail to tell that Israel threatened the Palestinians in their reunion that they are not allowed to celebrate the release of their hostages or they will be arrested. You shell out an incredibly biased report with many holes to your story, and its disproportionate, without journalism integrity by ignoring the Palestinian hostage release….. your focus on the individual story (which is crucial to aid in view sympathy is not given equal display for Palestinians on the same equal subject…. you do cover your ass by bringing story back to gaza, bt that is an obvious side sweep of facts…. you are a FAIL. do better, be better… It is required in war propaganda, oops, I mean war journalistic integrity. You have been found judged to be complicit in war crimes by the public. I assure you.

After the Battle of Badr, Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him gave the prisoners 2 choices:
1- Teach 10 muslims how to read or write.
2- Have a relative pay thier ransom.
William Muir states in his book The Life of Mahomet :
“In pursuance of Mahomet's commands, the citizens of Medîna, and such of the Refugees as possessed houses, received the prisoners, and treated them with much consideration. "Blessings be on the men of Medina!" said one of these prisoners in later days; "they made us ride, while they themselves walked: they gave us wheaten bread to eat when there was little of it, contenting themselves with dates. It is not surprising that when, some time afterwards, their friends came to ransom them, several of the prisoners who had been thus received declared themselves adherents of Islam…Their kindly treatment was thus prolonged, and left a favourable impression on the minds even of those who did not at once go over to Islam"

To all those wondering how the resistance treated the Israeli prisoners, the military correspondent for the Israeli Channel 13, Alon Ben David, said – during a television interview – that he communicated with some of the prisoners released during the truce and they said that Hamas fighters “gathered the members of each kibbutz (settlement) together, which gave them A greater sense of comfort.” He added, “They were not subjected to violence or insult, and Hamas members tried to provide them with food, painkillers, and their regular medications as much as possible, under dangerous and harsh security conditions underground and inside the tunnels.” He continued, “They were sitting and talking to each other, and carrying out their activities normally. They use YouTube, and it has given them a boost to resilience.”

Children are being killed in the West Bank, where there is no Hamas. Well, I am just wondering. They are human shields for those in the West Bank!! I wonder because I have seen many children killed so far?!!! Who hides behind them there!!! Are there tunnels under them there too!!!

Damn you, why did you not appear when they were handed over? You are afraid of revealing the truth. They were smiling at them. You know this is reasonable? The prisoner is smiling at me from his captivity. This indicates something because the resistance did it kindly and that the resistance has morals and is not like the Zionist terrorist army.

Why you do not show the released Palestinians kids with arms proken because of torture in Israeli prisons.
Why do they prevent prisoners released by hamas from talking to the media?
