After 471 days in Hamas captivity: The three abductees - Romi Gonen, 24, from Kfar Vradim, Emily Damari, 28, from Kfar Gaza, and Doron Steinbracher, 31, from Kfar Gaza - returned to Israel today (Sunday), not only with difficult memories from their captivity, but also with what is known in Israel as a "cynical bag of surprises.".
As can be seen in the documentation distributed by Hamas, the terrorists of the murderous organization handed the kidnapped women over to the Red Cross with bags bearing the symbol of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, containing photos of the kidnapped women from captivity and "Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades release certificates.".
In the footage released by Hamas, Emily Damaris is seen pushing a terrorist as she exits the Hamas vehicle into the red rescue vehicle.

Inside the bags they were given was a map of the Gaza Strip, photos of them from their captivity, and a certificate. In the cynical footage, you can see how a terrorist stamps the certificates to the three kidnapped women with oil and the inscription 'Release Decision'.
It is also noticeable that the pink dress worn by Doron Steinbracher has Palestinian flags on it. The dress was apparently given to her by the terrorist organization in preparation for her return to Israel.

In Israel, they said: "This is a cynical and psychological exploitation of kidnapped women whose freedom was denied by human monsters.".
According to a report in Kan News, following the images broadcast today from the Gaza Strip, in which a Gazan crowd is seen surrounding the three kidnapped women as they are being handed over to the Red Cross, Israel said that this was an unacceptable event that must not be repeated.
Israel will turn to mediators and make it clear that this is unacceptable to it.
Gonen was kidnapped from a Nova party, and Damari and Steinbracher were kidnapped from their homes in Kibbutz Kfar Aza. Emily and Romy were held captive together.
The returnees arrived at Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer with their mothers, where they met the rest of their families and underwent medical examinations. The director of Sheba Hospital said: "The returnees' medical condition allows us to focus on reuniting with their families.".
