[000:00:00;00] the, this is the w news coming to life from berlin. the israel from us. truth is now underway, a pause and putting brings people to the streets and gaza with an exchange of hostages and prisoners expected in just a few hours. the hello m terry martin. thanks for joining us. highly anticipated truce between

israel and how much is now underway. these are live images from the rough of crossing into gaza, where a trucks have started entering the strip from egypt. this was a key component of the truth which follows weeks of deadly fighting, sparked by the october 7th terrorist attacks by him. us all those. the truth is now in operation. tensions are still high with these really military sounding sirens and villages near guys. a warning of a possible rocket attack from the strip but dw is tanya kramer is in jerusalem. she has the latest on those fuel and humanitarian aid trucks. now entering the gaza strip as well as you said, this is a key component of uh, disagreement. um, so we are hearing uh from the military that just that of at least for tank is a fuel unfortunately because of cooking gas uh has been entering uh the across the

street from egypt. uh they are um, to be transferred to you and do you mind tearing organizations in um, in garza so this is an increase that we hope to see in the coming days or more trucks will be going in and also for the residence. now of course, in garza 1700000 people have been displaced in the past 7 weeks. many have moved from the north to the south, there were a force to flee, and they will be now having a short respite. we have to say because we don't know the seats for supposed to be for 4 days, maybe it will be extended. so they have an opportunity, you know, also to recharge. but the problem is, many of them will not be allowed to go back north as 3 understand, because the army says, you know, this is still an active war zone. so the cease fire has come into effect. so it did

so a few hours ago or the 2 sides in hearing to it has the fighting, stopped tanya? of the well, the husband intensive fighting up to the reported in gaza from the is really sorry that had been some sirens as well. air raid sirens before the ceasefire or the polls and fighting came into effect at 7 am. local time has been another everetts are in going off shortly after warning of incoming rockets from garza to the southern communities. but since then, it has been quite and it appears to hold for now. but again, we have to stress, you know, it could a break at any time. it's a very franchise situation. fragile situation indeed, how are our people in is real feeling now that the cease fire, the temporary so as far as underway, i mean the, the ceasefire, or the polls, inciting, is one uh, one step. and it is ro,

most people are no really waiting. what's been happened this afternoon? it's somehow a scheduled if you can talk about scheduling a hostage and a deal that should happen in the afternoon. it's for a p. m. local time. in the some of these, of 13 hostages had been notified on thursday night that they last phones will be released. it's very, it's, it's really an unprecedented moment here because this will be mostly children and possibly their mothers or women that will be released in this very, very 1st stage of this afternoon. they would be then brought to what's the egyptian border given to from us, given to the international red cross and then transferred from the re understand a to israel and then also further transferred a possibly to the hospitals. and of course, as mixed feelings as well as you know,

they're 236 hostages being husband garza. so this is the 1st step 50 hostages. according to disagreement should be a freed over the course of the next days, potentially there will be more but again, that will be also hostages, as still that will stay behind it and gaza. now as part of the ceasefire agreement, israel is also to release palestinian prisoners in return for the release of those hostages. the mazda is holding. what more? can you tell us about this post ending in prisons? what is what had released a list of about 300 names of posting in prison. this held in is where the prisons and uh we understand from colorado that some of the names have been approved according to the agreement. and the 1st stage, a $106.00 stage uh, posting and should be released from prison. so i understand. uh, some of them will be moved to a prison uh near a check point. uh,

near the okay. by westbank they would be released back home. most of them will be released back into the west bank. and of course some of these they'll also preparing for this. we don't know how many of them will be released today and exactly when this will happen. but it's, you know, expected that this would also happen sometime in the afternoon. possibly after the 1st hostages will be released. tony, thank you so much. uh, that was our correspond to tony kramer in jerusalem for the families. there's hostages, hell buy him off and guys of the past few weeks had been written with the spare and trauma. now the truce could see some of them safely reunited. at last. after weeks of waiting, the families of hostages hope their loved ones. we've come home soon. i want to hope, i hope hope, hope that it's going to happen. we've been on such a roller coaster for the past. certainly the past a week,

but since october 7th, between despair and trial mind hold. i just want to see the children come back. now, master group has agreed to release 50 civilian women and children, which 13 ought to be released and the 1st batch on friday and exchange is really set to release $150.00 palestinian prisoners, mostly females and teenage males. over the course of the truce. the deed, mediated by god, are also includes a 4 day pause and fighting in both the north and south of the gaza strip, as well as increase to monetary and aid. even though the agreement is considered a break to both sides have remained cautious about st. 2 months before it's materializes based on certain circumstances with his thoughts and his truce. main hope is that this humanitarian true. so give us all the opportunity to look into the bigger task. we choose to implement of permanent truths likely that the chief long lasting piece that that you met with, you'd like to fix that um in,

in efforts are being made to extend the tools beyond the full day period, which is well insist it will resume its military operation and garza until it has eradicated home us. a short while ago i spoke with sharon lift shits, intel aviv, both her mother and father were taken hostage by him aust, during the terrorist attack on october 7th. her mother was released last month, but her father is believe to still be held by some us started by asking her how her mother is doing. my mother is doing very, very well. um, uh, halters in under does she say? but the, the stronger her mind is strong. um, she's quite involved in preparation for the return of either hostages and shoes advising from my own experience. so she is busy supporting other families

that as hostages supporting the meanest through else and the other bodies with ease, wrong, that's a pretty fast. so the return of hostages. and in particular, very order wants to just and tell me if you would about your father or dad, he's 83 years old understanding and understand he was injured when i'm us kidnapped him. yes my father was at home with my mom in the secure room, which is the bedroom. he was shots through the night to door and he we didn't know that sent to my mother cause we know that using gaza. we know that he's a 23 and quite frail and we know that he, we don't know if he's lies of that 4 to 9 days into the event. so i gather you have not received any sign of life then from your father since october 7th, except what you heard from your mother or from your mother?

no, we know that he's there much. we don't know if he's dead or like i caught up to explain how called the red cross o n g. i was other energy i was. nobody's able to tell me the space. in fact, i find it options equally 6, but i'm not the only one quite a few of us are disposition. i'm sure they'll the ceasefire. deceased by a deal came into force this morning as part of the deal around 50 hostages, held by whom us are to be released in the coming hours and days. does that give you hope or i know many of the people on the lease today um i know them trust me. i cannot wait for each person to to come back icons twice for the women and children. we missed them so much. our heart is with their mothers and fathers. this is miranda situation.

some of these children will be coming back one, the 10 fathers will stay behind it. the trauma is indescribable, it crosses the choose so many. so those are comments way to see one each one has the same as the whole life and we are preparing to receive them as the best we ever . it's very from the moment it's us kayla for run this nice that we experience since the 7th of october, the frame t of this. uh so this is very steep. you don't want to speak about it till it happens. we so aware that some of us we have oh, some of our last one back and i this not the trauma, this will continue because people will have to face and all that stuff. the sisters or brothers or father died. they do not know much about what is happening,

what has happened soon, so we come sorry to see them, but this is a ray of light in the great darkness. so how much is expected? at least initially to release women and children only are you prepared to have to wait longer for your fathers return? you know, we are a community, we grouped together, the children's growth there, they're being part of this community is that you have the phones that are like funding is there that you there. and then my father and several other members of sticky boots up fighting to be at the end of it. my father truly believe in this young generation. and so, so he feels that it's 83 because he's a great buy because he wants those children and their mothers and the father and everyone else. i had this thing. we're desperate to see him really nice and show much,

but that i know the kind of stuff and now we know that you're in contact with some of the other families are also waiting for news about the possible release of their loved ones. you were mentioning that the uncertainty and the way thing for all of you must be terrible. yeah, i, i kind of the surprises of the life of summer lights. loved ones are in the hands of pretty tissues and terrorist in the last 2 media. it's way um these are people that have uh close special roof, excessive approved to the the mothers of the, the other does. the rates us, they smoke to us. they have created the old room and we were defenceless against them. um, so to have your loved ones in the hands and in the hands, it's

a very delicate truce and a very delicate exchanges and a terrorist and civilian is over. so in cuba, it's near us. your parents home more than a 100 people are thought to have been killed or captured by a mazda of october 7th. after all this happened, do you see a future for your family in israel? israel a yes, this close the there it goes to their this is their home. i've seen that of my father fault for, for, for peace. oh, he's on eastern spot for peace. they hear that the 2 nations which lead side by side is something that's my sense dedicated their lives to. and so i think that the future in each room would also depend on the making fees and finding a way to live side by side. just say from the to the cesar is not

a political. we need to find a way of leading side by side with made peace with the germans after the will go to an over generation this relationship. and it's absolutely clear that that is also possible with uh, with the 1st and last is that the recent terrorist organizations that engage the most, the worst crimes against humanity, if there's no peace possible with people that train themselves to behave, babies, there's no peace possible with people that just went out between 6 months and months roll on civilians. and so there's no peace would come between the 1st union people. the people liked the tests and my mom's shocks and we absolutely would make peace for then we would have to find a way to move side by side. sharon,
