The next exchange was scheduled for Saturday, releasing three Israeli hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners." --
Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz responds...
-- "I have instructed the Israeli military to prepare at the highest level of alert for any possible scenario in Gaza and to protect the communities. 'We will not allow a return to the reality of 7 October.'" --
Finally...
-- "When Hamas hands back coffins, will there still be crowds and celebrations?" --
