The initially announced 4-day truce<\/a> in the Israel-Hamas war was extended by two days on November 28 to allow the release of more Israeli hostages in Gaza and Palestinian detainees in Israel. As many as 69 hostages (51 Israelis and 18 foreigners) and 150 Palestinian prisoners have been released in the past 4 days<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A photo collage is being widely shared on social media in which the picture on the left depicts an Israeli military officer dragging a Palestinian boy while the picture on the right shows a Hamas fighter walking side-by-side with a smiling Israeli boy and putting his hand on the boy’s shoulder in an affectionate manner. The nationality of the four individuals has been pointed out by placing flags of the two territories above their heads. The message that is sought to be conveyed through the collage is that while the Israeli officer is forcibly dragging the Palestinian boy by grabbing his neck, the Hamas fighter is treating the Israeli boy gently.<\/p>\n
