Israel has Threatened to resume "intense fighting" in Gaza if hostages are not released this weekend, while Hamas insisted it remained committed to the ceasefire deal and accused Israel of Violations.
Under the terms of the Truce, which has largely halted more than 15 months of Israeli Assualt on Gaza, captives were to be released in batches in exchange for Palestinians in Israeli Custody.
So far, Israel and Hamas have completed five Hostage-Prisoner swaps.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that "if Hamas does not return Isareli hostages by Saturday Noon, the Ceasefire will end, and the Israeli Military will resume intense fighting Until Hamas is decisively defeated".
