Joy erupted in Tenafly, New Jersey and Tel Aviv as Edan Alexander, the last living U.S.-Israeli hostage in Gaza, was released by Hamas after over 19 months in captivity.
The 21-year-old soldier, captured during Hamasâ October 2023 assault, was handed to the Red Cross.
His release comes just before U.S. President Donald Trumpâs regional visit and amid direct Hamas-Washington ceasefire talks.
Emotional scenes played out at Hostages Square and in his hometown, where supporters cheered the long-awaited announcement.
Hopes for peace reignite with this symbolic humanitarian breakthrough.

The families of Israeli hostages Maxim Herkin and Bar Kuperstein have authorized the release of a deeply unsettling video snippet originally published by Hamas in April. This 44-second clip shows the two men, visibly distressed and pleading for their lives, as part of a strategic push by the families to secure a comprehensive hostage return deal with Hamas, rather than partial agreements. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum has condemned what it calls "cruel selections," demanding the return of all hostages.

Hamas has indicated it is open to a ceasefire agreement but has effectively rejected the latest American-backed proposal, insisting that any deal must lead to a permanent end to the war in Gaza. This response comes after US President Trump announced the plan, urging Hamas to accept the terms before conditions worsen. While Israel has reportedly agreed to the initial terms, it maintains that the war will not officially end until its objective of dismantling Hamas is achieved.

Israel's War Exposed: Graphic CCTV Contradicts Netanyahu's Claims On Iran Attack | World News
New, disturbing footage has emerged online showing the devastating impact of Israeli airstrikes on what appears to be a civilian area in Iran, raising serious questions about the nature of the recent conflict.
This report analyzes startling new CCTV footage that reveals the harrowing moments of an Israeli airstrike in Iran. The visuals, which have gone viral, show a busy road packed with vehicles being bombed in a heavy air raid. The clip captures cars being blown into the air and shows the attack striking not just a building, but a road jammed with unsuspecting civilians. While the footageâs exact location is yet to be confirmed, reports from Press TV suggest it originated from a region in northern Iran.
The emergence of this graphic evidence directly challenges Israel's official stance that its military actions were aimed at Iran's leadership and not its people. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously called on the Iranian people to rise against their government. However, with over 900 people reportedly losing their lives during the conflict, this footage is fueling international criticism and accusations from netizens that Israel targeted civilian zones without justification.
This video breaks down the controversial footage, examines the claims and counter-claims from both Israel and Iran, and provides context on the wider geopolitical conflict. The war, which saw heightened tensions across the Middle East, eventually ceased after Iran conducted a retaliatory strike on U.S. bases in the region.

Ahead of the United States' Independence Day celebrations, federal agencies have issued a serious warning about potential terrorist attacks, specifically from lone wolf actors. This elevated threat level is a direct consequence of escalating tensions in the Middle East, where the U.S. has become more involved in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. The situation intensified after U.S. B-2 Spirit bombers conducted a major operation on June 22, dropping heavy bunker buster bombs on three of Iran's nuclear facilities in a strategic move to aid Israel.
In response to the potential for retaliatory attacks, security has been visibly bolstered across the country. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has identified lone wolves as the "greatest threat" to July 4th events, announcing an increased presence of State Police and the deployment of National Guard units at major transportation hubs, bridges, and tunnels throughout New York City. Authorities are also closely monitoring social media for any signs of cyber threats or domestic terror plots.
The threat is not limited to New York. An FBI bulletin has specifically warned that San Francisco's famous fireworks show could be a target for a mass casualty attack. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially raised the national threat level to "Heightened" and stated it will remain in effect until September 22, citing the direct link to the escalating conflict between Iran and the U.S. While no specific or credible plots have been identified, federal and state agencies remain on high alert to counter any security situation that may arise during the holiday.

Watch the moment Israeli air defenses intercept a suspected Houthi missile targeting Tel Aviv in a heart-stopping mid-air explosion. The unreal video captures a blinding flash as the projectile is obliterated over the city skyline. Officials say the rapid Iron Dome response averted massive casualties, while Yemenâs Houthis claim responsibility for the attempted strike.

Israelâs war with Iran has pushed its defense systems to the brink, with the country reportedly running low on Arrow interceptors â a critical component of its missile shield. According to Israeli media outlet Ynetnews, Israel may only have 10â12 days of Arrow missile stock left amid relentless Iranian missile barrages. With each interceptor costing $2â3.5 million and nightly operations burning through $285 million, Israelâs financial reserves are depleting fast. A staggering $36 billion budget deficit and an $85 billion total war cost since October 2023 have raised alarm across defense circles. The country is now reportedly prioritizing intercepts for urban centers, allowing some missiles to land in open areas. While still operational offensively, analysts warn that without urgent U.S. resupply, Israelâs air defense may buckle under sustained pressure â a vulnerability adversaries may exploit. Meanwhile, Israeli officials remain tight-lipped, refusing to confirm outright financial collapse.

In blatant defiance of a ceasefire agreement, Israeli drone strikes on Saturday killed at least two people and wounded several others in southern Lebanon. A drone strike in Mahrouna targeted a motorcycle, killing one and injuring two bystanders in a passing car. Hours earlier, another Israeli UAV strike hit a vehicle in Kounine, killing a Hezbollah resistance fighter, identified as Hassan Mohammad Jumaa.
These attacks mark yet another violation of the extended truce that began on November 27 and was supposed to hold past February 18. Despite its expiration, Lebanon had hoped for stability, but Israelâs continued occupation of strategic southern areas and recurring strikes have reignited regional tensions. Beirut has condemned the aggression and vowed to take âall necessary measuresâ to end Israelâs unlawful military presence. The international community remains silent as Tel Aviv pushes the boundaries of legality and human rights with impunity.

In a stunning development, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced he will speak with U.S. President Donald Trump by phone. The announcement came during a business forum on July 3, 2025, with Putin offering no details on the agenda before leaving abruptly for the call. Minutes later, Trump confirmed the 10 AM ET conversation on social media, sending shockwaves through the international community.
This high-stakes call comes at a critical moment in the Russia-Ukraine war. Russian forces have been making significant territorial gains, recently claiming full control over the strategic region of Luhansk. This major blow to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's government has been exacerbated by a slowdown in crucial military support from the United States. Moscow has intensified its aerial attacks, and the geopolitical landscape appears to be shifting, with both NATO and the U.S. seemingly easing their harsh rhetoric against Putin's actions.
Speculation is now rampant over the purpose of the Putin-Trump discussion. Key questions remain unanswered: What will they discuss? Will this call formalize a Russian victory and signal the end of the war? This move is particularly significant given Trump's previous vow to end the war in "24 hours," a promise he has struggled to fulfill since taking office. The world is watching to see if this phone call will reshape global security and determine the final fate of Ukraine.

In a shocking revelation, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed that a migrant attempted to eat his own arms mid-air during a deportation flight. The disturbing incident was cited to defend President Donald Trumpâs controversial mass deportation program and the rapid construction of the new âAlligator Alcatrazâ migrant detention facility in the Florida Everglades.
Speaking alongside Trump, Noem described the detainee as a âself-proclaimed cannibalâ and warned that U.S. law enforcement is targeting the "worst of the worst" in ongoing removals. The Department of Homeland Security has yet to verify the account.
This explosive moment comes just days after Trumpâs new mega-prison for undocumented immigrants began operations â and as the 2026 election season heats up. Critics say the story is fear-mongering. Supporters say it's proof of the threat posed by open borders.

Hamas is accusing the Trump administration of betrayal after the release of American-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander. In a shocking revelation, senior Hamas official Basem Naim claims that Trumpâs envoy promised to lift the Gaza blockade, allow humanitarian aid, and publicly call for a ceasefire in exchange for the hostageâs release. But according to Hamas, the U.S. âthrew the deal in the trashâ and delivered none of its commitments.

Survivors of Hamas captivity are calling on Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump, and envoy Steve Witkoff to act urgently following Edan Alexander's release. In a passionate letter signed by 65 former hostages, they urged leaders not to waste the moment and to halt military action if it means saving the remaining captives. While Trump negotiates new Middle East deals, pressure mounts to prioritize the hostages. With several Americans still held or declared dead, the plea emphasizes cross-border urgency. Netanyahuâs office has not responded to the emotional appeal for a comprehensive deal.

Israeli-American Edan Alexander, who has been released by Hamas after 19 months in captivity has snubbed Israeli PM Natanyahu. This despite Netanyahu hailing his release as a "very emotional moment," reports say Edan has refused a personal meeting with him, citing physical and emotional exhaustion. Edan, was freed on May 12 in what Hamas called a goodwill gesture to Donald Trump, who is currently visiting the region. The release follows complex U.S.-Israel-Qatar-Egypt negotiations and raises new hopes for the remaining hostages and potential peace talks.

Edan Alexander, a 19-year-old American-Israeli soldier and IDF combat medic, was taken hostage by Hamas during the October 7 attack that ignited the Israel-Gaza war. After 583 harrowing days held underground in Gaza, often in brutal conditions, Edan has finally been freed. This video covers the emotional reunion with his family, the covert negotiations said to be led by Trumpâs team, and what his release means for the remaining hostages and ongoing ceasefire talks.
