The girls were paraded through the streets and on a Hamas stage in Gaza wearing Hamas garb.
On October 7, terrorists abducted teenagers bloodied in their pajamas. For 477 days, they were denied medical attention and subjected to horrific abuse.
Today, Hamas dressed them up in fake uniforms and paraded them in front of masked terrorists on global television in a grotesque propaganda spectacle.
And still not a word denouncing the abuse from the so-called women’s rights organizations.
Four female Israeli soldiers freed in second cease-fire exchange

Four female Israeli soldiers kidnapped by Hamas terrorists from a southern military base 477 days ago were freed Saturday in the second hostage exchange under the ongoing Gaza cease-fire deal.
The women — Karina Ariev, 20; Daniella Gilboa, 20; Naama Levy, 20; and Liri Albag, 19 — were received by the International Committee of the Red Cross, who coordinated with Hamas to secure the handover.
Their release comes six days after Israel received the first three hostages released once the initial phase of the cease-fire deal went into effect, bringing fighting in the brutal 15-month war to a halt.
In exchange for the soldiers’ release, Israel is expected to turn over 200 Palestinian convicts from its prisons, some of whom were serving life sentences, according to Reuters.
Last Sunday’s handoff saw the release of Emily Damari, 28, Romi Gonen, 23, and Doron Steinbrecher, 31, but only after an hours-long delay in the start of the truce because Hamas was violated the terms of the deal.
Under the agreement, the terror group must give Israel the names of the hostages slated to be freed at least 24 hours ahead of their release.
In exchange, Israel released 90 Palestinian prisoners, all women and children.
In the latest exchange, Israel accused Hamas again of violating the accord’s terms, which require the terror group to release all female civilians first, followed by female IDF soldiers, then the elderly and the ill.
On Friday, the terror group released the names of four female soldiers it was handing off, despite a pair of civilians — Arbel Yehud, 29, and Shiri Silberman Bibas, 33 — still held hostage in Gaza.

Israel this week demanded Hamas include Yehud, who was kidnapped from her home in in Kibbutz Nir Oz, among the captives released this weekend, as the terms of the deal stipulate.
Yehud is believed to be held by the terror group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, not Hamas, complicating her release, The Times of Israel reported, citing Israel’s Channel 12.
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top Israeli officials convened and informed mediators the list violated the terms of their deal, but decided to move forward with the exchange.
All four hostages released Saturday were surveillance soldiers kidnapped from the Nahal Oz military base on the Gaza border during Hamas’ brutal attack on Oct. 7, 2023.
Albag, from central Israel’s Moshav Yarhiv, was featured in a Hamas propaganda video released January, saying she was “living in a nightmare” and pleading for the Israeli government’s rescue.
Albag’s family, who described the teen as aspiring to be an interior designer or architect, said the twisted footage had “torn our hearts to pieces” and they begged Netanyahu and his fellow Israeli leaders to act on the hostages’ fate “as if your children were there.”

Gilboa, from Petah Tikva, and Ariev, of Jerusalem, also were seen in a separate propaganda video created by the terror group in January 2024, along with Doron Steinbrecher, who was among the trio of hostages freed on Sunday.
“I am under bombardment and fire 24 hours a day. I am very, very scared for my life,” Gilboa said in the clip, which her parents allowed to be publicized in July in the hopes of sparking a hostage deal.
The morning of the attack, she sent her mother a final text that she was in a safe room, only to be seen later in a disturbing Hamas video being dragged barefoot by a gun-toting terrorist into the backseat of a Jeep, her hands bound and sweatpants covered in blood.
“The images of your abduction broadcast to the world are images that I cannot unsee,” her mother wrote in an open letter, adding, “It’s too much for a mother to bear.”
