A former Israeli detainee recently wrote a heartfelt letter of thanks to the Al-Qassam Brigades. Let's dive into the details!
Al-Qassam Brigades shared a picture of the letter on their website. The letter was written by a mom who was once held as a prisoner of war. She wanted to thank Al-Qassam for how they treated her daughter, Emilia, during their time in captivity.
A Special Exchange
Now, here's the interesting part. This mom, Mrs. Daniel, and her daughter Emilia were released as part of a prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas. It happened during a temporary truce. Pretty intense, right?
Before the exchange took place, Mrs. Daniel wrote the letter on November 23. She wanted to express her gratitude to the Al-Qassam Brigades for their kindness towards her daughter.
Gratitude and Kindness
In her letter, Mrs. Daniel thanked the Al-Qassam Brigades from the bottom of her heart. She called them "generals" and praised them for treating her daughter with humanity. She said that everyone she met, even the leaders, showed kindness and compassion towards Emilia. They were like parents to her.
Mrs. Daniel wanted to make sure that the Al-Qassam officers knew how grateful she was. She said that because of their care, her daughter didn't suffer any psychological trauma, even though they were going through a difficult time in Gaza. She ended her letter by wishing them and their families good health and wellness.
Positive Testimonies
Now, this story gets even more interesting. Other Israeli detainees who were released by Hamas also had positive things to say about their treatment. They said that Hamas treated them well and didn't harm or insult them. This supports what an elderly Israeli prisoner named Lifshitz said when he was released in October.
These statements caused quite a stir in Israel. Many people criticized the government for how they handle prisoners and missing persons. It seems like they didn't do a great job in managing this situation.
A Truce and Humanitarian Aid
So far, Hamas has released 50 Israeli civilians in exchange for 150 Palestinian prisoners. This is part of a truce agreement between the two parties. The agreement also includes sending humanitarian aid and fuel to the Gaza Strip. The truce has been extended for two more days.
And that's the end of our story, my middle school friends! It's always heartwarming to hear stories of kindness and gratitude, even in difficult situations. Remember, a little bit of kindness can go a long way!
