The cease-fire between Israel and Hamas appeared to be back on track Sunday after the release of a second group of terrorist-held hostages and Palestinians.
Maayan Zin, a mother of two young girls held captive by Hamas, is anxiously awaiting news about their release amidst the breakthrough deal to release some hostages held in Gaza.
Israel has reportedly notified the families of hostages set to be released Friday. One relative said, “Until we get them home and hug them...I don’t think we can celebrate.”
Israel has warned it will continue its "intense" fighting into the new year, after a deal for a four-day ceasefire and release of dozens of hostages was agreed to on both sides.
EXCLUSIVE: 'My daughters were being educated to love the people on the other side, in Gaza. Hamas doesn't need the kids. They didn't do anything. They're not soldiers,' says Israeli mum Maayan Zin, 50, whose daughters were kidnapped by terrorists more than a week ago.
