From Ynet:

The two terrorists who opened fire at the entrance to Jerusalem arrived in the same vehicle, and were neutralized by two soldiers and a civilian who were nearby. They were later identified as two brothers from Sur Baher in East Jerusalem - Ibrahim Nemer, 30, and Murad Nemer, 38. During a police search of the terrorists' vehicle, cartridges and a lot of ammunition were found.

According to Times of Israel, they were previously jailed for terrorism:

Murad was jailed from 2010 to 2020 for planning terror attacks under the direction of terror elements in the Gaza Strip, according to the Shin Bet.

Ibrahim was jailed in 2014 for undisclosed terror activity, the agency says.

The only instance of this I can recall off the top of my head is PIJ claiming that Hanna Katzir was killed. Hamas have not publicly announced the death of any hostages in ways that have been confirmed or reported by respectable journalists, but there is lots of propaganda being spread through Telegram and other platforms.

There is a big difference between the international group and the local affiliate. The families would for sure accept an ICRC official telling them "your son/daughter is still alive. I saw them myself this morning". I'm not sure the families would accept the same from a PRCS employee without further proof.

The pictures of the hostages being released are pretty clear it's ICRC red cross, not PRCS that are handling that part at a minimum.

The deal text itself is not public to the best of my knowledge, so there's nothing to really go on.

I think the southern traitors said it best themselves:

The right of property in slaves

Only if it comes with a fully voiced shield that is possessed by the ghost of a masochist who keeps getting you into fights randomly. Like calling out in front of the guard "hey! Catch that thief who stole a talking shield!" and then moans when you block.

Bonus points if it just randomly nopes out for some types of damage like fire.

To the best of my knowledge, this is the ICRC international who are supposed to visit the hostages, as they have been facilitating the release of both the hostages and the prisoners.

At this point, I think the families just want to know if their loved ones are still alive and don't care one bit if it's the ICRC or PRCS.

I pulled the list of the 50 added - it's actually a little interesting:

  1. They are all women, 2 of whom are under 18.
  2. 25 are Israeli citizens. The previous one was exclusively those who do not have Israeli citizenship.
  3. All but 4 were arrested after October 7th.
  4. 15 were charged with "תמיכה בטרור", which translates as "supporting terrorism". Another 12 were charged with "תמיכה בטרור, הסתה", so basically that + incitement to violence.
  5. 3 were convicted already - 2 for attempted murder, and 1 for "תמיכה בטרור, עבירות מרמה, שירות לארגון בלתי חוקי, קשר לביצוע פשע" which Google translates as "Support for terrorism, fraud offences, service to an illegal organization, connection to the commission of a crime"
  6. 35 of them are arraigned to civilian courts - 15 to military courts. As previously mentioned, this seems to correlate strongly with where they live/were arrested.

And the crowd pleaser:

Ahed Tamimi is on that list - she was charged with "הסתה, תמיכה בטרור", and is listed as being a member of "חז"ע". That is an accusation with very serious consequences if true - PFLP are a terrorist organization designated for sanctions by many countries - US, CA, UK, etc.

Short preface: please edit your post to not include the full article text - it's at risk for being removed (see Rule 2 in the sidebar)

The headline is objectively wrong - all 300 on the original list have been charged (I haven't checked the 50 who were added recently - life is busy). In fact, I went back to redownload the list to see if they fixed the encoding issue - they did, and they added the court file numbers for each person.

Of the original 300, 233 have not yet been convicted and were awaiting their trials. There are 58 being held on a singular "פגיעה בבטחון האזור" charge (Google translates as "Damage to the security of the area"), and would likely be released anyways. I say that because the remainder have much more detailed charges such as:

הצתה על רקע לאומני, נשק/תחמושת/חומרי נפץ, עבירות הסדר הציבורי, תקיפת שוטר בנסיבות חמורות, עבירות כלפי חיי אדם

which Google translates as:

Arson on a nationalist background, weapons/ammunition/explosives, public order offenses, assaulting a police officer under serious circumstances, offenses against human life

In fact, it makes it difficult to do proper data science on it in no small part because the charges are clearly typed by hand (typos and all), and include many different individual charges. There are 92 who are being charged in civilian courts, which seems to be based on where they were arrested, as the majority are from Jerusalem.

Interesting tidbit: none of the original 300 were arrested after October 7th.

EDIT: forgot to link the actual list

What is q-star?

That claim is rather...extreme

EDIT: Read a little bit now that I'm not on mobile and I'm convinced it's bullshit. how many software engineers/MLE's have seen a perfectly written email like that without tons of typos and grammar mistakes? It's literally too perfect - this is likely the product of a LLM to produce "real-looking" fodder for conspiracy theorists.
