قال رئيس سيراليون جوليوس مادا بيو، إنه تسنى إلقاء القبض على معظم قادة الهجوم على ثكنة عسكرية في العاصمة فريتاون في وقت سابق الأحد، مضيفا أن العمليات الأمنية والتحقيقات مستمرة.

وقال بيو في خطاب أذاعه التلفزيون الوطني: “سنضمن محاسبة المسؤولين”.

وأضاف: “باعتباري القائد الأعلى لكم، أود أن أؤكد لكل من يقيم في سيراليون أننا تغلبنا على هذا التحدي”، ونجحنا في استعادة الهدوء.

وفي وقت سابق الأحد، قالت الحكومة إنها صدت هجوما شنه “جنود منشقون” حاولوا اقتحام مستودع أسلحة تابع للجيش في فريتاون خلال الساعات الأولى من الصباح.

وفرض حظر تجول في عموم البلاد. وسمع دوي إطلاق نار في أنحاء المدينة عندما استهدف المهاجمون سجنا ومركزا للشرطة.

وحثت هيئة الطيران المدني في سيراليون شركات الطيران على وضع مواعيد جديدة لرحلاتها بعد إعلان حظر التجول، في حين قال جندي على الحدود مع غينيا المجاورة لرويترز إنهم تلقوا تعليمات بإغلاق الحدود.

وقال صحفي من رويترز كان قد صادف في وقت سابق مجموعة من الرجال المسلحين يستولون على سيارة للشرطة بالقرب من ثكنة ويلبرفورس، إن الشوارع القريبة كانت خالية من المارة في الأغلب.

وقال أحد الملثمين الذي كان يرتدي زيا عسكريا قبل أن يغادر في سيارة: “سنطهر هذا المجتمع. نعلم ما ننوي فعله. لا نلاحق أي مدنيين عاديين، وعليهم أن يمارسوا أنشطتهم بشكل طبيعي”.

وتشهد سيراليون حالة من التوتر منذ انتخاب الرئيس لفترة جديدة في حزيران/يونيو، وهي النتيجة التي رفضها مرشح المعارضة الرئيسي، وشكك فيها شركاء دوليون منهم الولايات المتحدة والاتحاد الأوروبي.

وفي خطابه للأمة مساء الأحد، دعا بيو الزعماء السياسيين والمجتمع المدني في سيراليون إلى العمل من أجل الحفاظ على السلام.

وقال: “دعونا لا نستسلم للخوف أو الانقسام”.

ولم يتضح حتى الآن ما إذا كانت وقعت خسائر بشرية في هذا الهجوم أو خلال وقائع إطلاق النار في العاصمة اليوم.

وقال وزير الإعلام شيرنور باه في بيان في وقت سابق من اليوم، إن قوات الأمن أحرزت تقدما في ملاحقة المتورطين في الهجوم، دون تقديم مزيد من التفاصيل.

لكن باه أشار إلى تعرض بعض مراكز الاحتجاز الرئيسية للهجوم، إلى جانب إطلاق سراح سجناء من قبل المسلحين المجهولين.

ولم يتضح حتى الآن عدد السجناء الذين فروا من المنشأة، التي قال تقرير لوزارة الخارجية الأمريكية إنها مصممة لاستيعاب 324 سجينا، لكنها كانت تضم أكثر من 2000 في 2019.

Fourteen more Israeli hostages have been released by Hamas after being held for almost seven weeks.

They include four-year-old Abigail, a dual Israeli-American national, whose parents were reportedly killed in the 7 October attacks.

US President Joe Biden said on the day she was released that her father was “gunned down while using his body to shield little Abigail”, who then ran to a neighbour’s house where she was taken hostage alongside another family.

Her handover on Sunday coincides with the release of 39 prisoners by Israel after a deal that has paused fighting between the two sides.

It comes after a further 13 Israelis were released on Friday and Saturday as part of the same deal, with 39 Palestinian prisoners being returned to the West Bank on the same days.

A further 17 Thai nationals and one Filipino hostage have also been released by Hamas.

The names of the Israeli hostages – who were among some 240 people kidnapped during the deadly Hamas attack – released on Sunday are:

Hagar Brodetz, 40, with her children, Ofry, 10, Yuval, eight, and Oriya, who is four

The family was taken hostage together on 7 October.

Chen Goldstein-Almog, with her three children, Agam, who is 17, Gal, 11, and eight-year-old Tal

Ms Goldstein-Almog, 49, is a social worker and was taken by Hamas alongside her children.

Dafna Elyakim, 15, and Ela Elyakim, who is eight years old

Abigail Edan, four

Four-year-old Abigail is a dual Israeli-American national, whose parents were reportedly killed in the 7 October attacks.

US President Joe Biden said on the day she was released that her father was “gunned down while using his body to shield little Abigail”, who then ran to a neighbour’s house where she was taken hostage alongside another family.

“What she endured is unthinkable,” Mr Biden told a news conference.

Ron Krivoi, 25

Mr Krivoi is a Russian-Israeli, whom Hamas said it had freed in appreciation of Moscow’s support during the conflict.

Alma Avraham, 84

Ms Avraham was among those freed on 26 November, the third day of the temporary truce deal between Israel and Hamas.

Aviva Adrienne Siegel, 62

Ms Siegel was freed after more than seven weeks in captivity.

Emily Hand, nine

Irish-Israeli schoolgirl Emily was taken from Be’eri on 7 October.

She was sleeping at her best friend’s house when the attack took place.

Her mother, Liat, died of cancer when Emily was two years old. Her father, Thomas, made multiple pleas for her safe return.

Thomas was initially told that Emily’s body had been found, but was later told that she was alive and among the hostages.

Hila Rotem Shoshani, 13

Hila managed to escape her home in Be’eri, but was found hiding in nearby bushes and kidnapped by Hamas militants.

Her mother, Raaya, was also kidnapped.

Hila had recently returned from a holiday in Korea and Thailand, where she had been visiting for her uncle’s wedding.

Maya Regev, 21

Maya was kidnapped, along with her brother Itay and their friend Omer She-Tov, while attending the Re’im festival.

She had gone to the festival hours after landing from Mexico, where she had been on holiday with her family.

Maya is due to go travelling across South America next month.

Noam Or, 17, and his 13-year-old sister, Alma

Noam was kidnapped from kibbutz Be’eri, along with his sister, Alma.

Their mother, Yonat, was murdered during the same attack.

Their eldest brother, Yahli, survived the attack as he was away in northern Israel on national service.

Shiri Weiss, 53, and her 18-year-old daughter, Noga

Described as “very family-oriented”, Shiri Weiss, an accountant for an agricultural association, was kidnapped from Be’eri, alongside her husband, Ilan, and her daughter, Noga.

Friends say Ms Weiss likes being in charge of planning family trips, while Noga has been described as a sports fan – particularly volleyball.

Noga hid under the bed during the attack, but was forced to flee the home after it was set on fire.

She escaped through a window, but was found hiding in bushes and was kidnapped.

Sharon Avigdori, 52, and her 12-year-old daughter, Noam

A drama therapist who works with people on the autism spectrum, Sharon Avigdori was taken with her daughter Noam while visiting her brother in kibbutz Be’eri.

Noam, a member of the Scouts movement, was about to celebrate her Bat Mitzvah when she was taken.

A further seven members of Ms Avigdori’s family were kidnapped and three were murdered on 7 October.

Shoshan Haran, 67, her daughter, Adi Shoham, and her grandchildren, Nave, eight, and Yahel, three

Sharon Haran is the founder of a non-profit organisation, who previously worked on agricultural projects in Africa.

She was taken along with eight members of her family, while her husband, sister, and brother-in-law, were murdered.

Her daughter, Adi Shoham, from Ma’aleh Tzvia, was kidnapped from Be’eri along with her husband and their two children, Nave and Yahel, and five other members of the family.

They were in Be’eri for a holiday visit.

Ms Shoham works as a clinical psychologist, while Nave is a huge fan of the Argentinian football star Lionel Messi, and his sister, Yahel, is a fan of singing.

The names of the hostages released on Friday are:

Adina Moshe, 72

She was kidnapped from her home in Kibbutz Nir Oz, after Hamas militants killed her husband Sa’id Moshe.

She has four children – Maya, Yael, Sasson, and Amos – and a number of grandchildren.

Her hobbies include cooking, gardening and reading.

Margalit Moses, 77

A cancer survivor, she has diabetes and fibromyalgia, and takes additional medications for blood pressure and thyroid.

She is said to be a sworn nature lover, especially of birds, and loves hiking despite her poor health.

Last summer she went on sailing trip in northern Norway and had plans to visit Mozambique this winter. Margalit’s other hobbies include knitting.

Daniel Aloni, 45, and her six-year-old daughter Emilia

The pair were kidnapped in Nir Oz while visiting Daniel’s sister Sharon Aloni-Cunio – who was also kidnapped along with her three-year-old twins Emma and Yuli, and their father David Cunio.

On 7 October at 11am Daniel sent a “last message” to her family which said there were terrorists in the house and she was afraid they would not survive.

Ruthy Munder, 78, Keren Munder, 54 and nine-year-old Ohad Munder

Ohad was kidnapped along with his mother, Keren, while they were visiting his grandmother Ruthy, who was also seized. He reportedly turned nine while in captivity. His mother is a teacher and children’s volleyball coach.

Ruthy Munder’s hobbies are said to include knitting, painting and sewing. Her husband, Ohad’s grandfather, was also kidnapped and is still being held by Hamas, it is thought.

Doron Katz Asher, 34, and her daughters Aviv, two, and Raz, four

The trio were kidnapped during a visit to relatives, including the girls’ grandmother, in Kibbutz Nir Oz.

Ms Katz Asher works as an accountant.

Hanna Peri, 79

The mother-of-three immigrated to Israel from South Africa in the 1960s. She works in a grocery store.

Ms Peri is said to have diabetes and suffers from severe vision loss in one eye. Her hobbies including gardening, Tai Chi and looking after her pet cat.

Footage, apparently of her, being taken away on a golf buggy went viral following Hamas’s attack.

Yaffa Adar, 85

Ms Adar has three children, eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

One of her grandchildren, Tamir Adar, 38, was kidnapped alongside her and is still thought to be held by Hamas.

Hana Katzir, 76

Ms Katzir was the 13th hostage to be released on Friday. Hamas forces reportedly claimed earlier this week that she had died in captivity.

We’ve seen Israel’s hostages coming home in a blaze of coverage, but very little of Palestinian prisoners returning to Jerusalem as part of the truce.

There’s a good reason for that. The Israeli police in Jerusalem don’t want the homecomings filmed, celebrated or becoming the focus of gatherings and potential unrest.

In the narrow lanes of Silwan, in the shadow of Jerusalem’s Old City ramparts, paramilitary border police were out in force.

Israel-Gaza latest: US girl, 4, freed by Hamas – as third group of hostages leave Gaza

We tried to reach one house where four boys were being returned to one family. “Not now,” we were told before being firmly moved on.

The area is predominantly Arab and the scene of frequent unrest.

The neon blue stars of Jewish settlement buildings shine out from among the homes of Palestinians who resent their presence and the fact that the city spends millions less on their neighbourhoods than the majority Jewish west of the city.

To suppress that unrest the Israeli police routinely round up and detain teenage boys after clashes between them.

Israel has a controversial policy of administrative detention when suspects can be held for six months without trial or detention.

Twenty-one of the 39 prisoners released in Sunday’s third hostage prisoner exchange were from East Jerusalem and have been returned there.

We moved on to another prisoner’s family’s home but this time filmed from a distance until the police moved on. Inside we found the Abu Ghannam family as they welcomed home their 17-year-old son.

Ghannam Abu Ghannam was detained a year ago, charged with throwing stones at a bus. He has never been convicted, his family say. He’s now been released as part of the Gaza truce.

“It’s a gift from God,” his mother told Sky News. “It’s as if it’s a miracle.”

Israel says the minors it’s releasing as part of the truce are terrorists, but Palestinians say many are youths held without sentence for what other countries would regard as civil disorder offences.

Ghannam told Sky News prison had become much worse since the Hamas attacks on 7 October.

“Prison was humiliating. They came in and beat us ever since the war began and we were treated like dogs.”

Other prisoners released over this truce were being held for more serious offences.

Shorouk Dwayatt is out after serving half a 16-year sentence for stabbing an Israeli and attempting to stab another in Jerusalem’s Old City in 2015.

Her trial heard claims she had posted on Facebook of her yearning to become a martyr.

Her family claim she was acting in self defence after one of the men accosted her and tried to pull off her head scarf before shooting her.

She told Sky News she would train now to become a lawyer to help other Palestinian victims of Israel’s occupation.

She said conditions in the jail had worsened after 7 October and claimed male guards had hit and persecuted female prisoners.

She said she fears the Israelis might try and lock her up again.

“My biggest fear is to be arrested again because they’ve already threatened me with that and it’s possible that the house could be invaded at any moment.”

Israa Jaabis had been imprisoned since 2015 after being convicted of a bomb attack that wounded an Israeli police officer and left her with severe burns on her face and hands.

She had been sentenced to 11 years behind bars for the attack, but was also released as part of the exchange.

Greeting her family, Israa said: “I am shy to hug him (her son) because he became a man, when he tells me ‘my mum’ I have him back as a small child in my eyes.”

Describing conditions within the prison she was held in, she said: “Women prisoners are in a bad situation, really, and the Arab-Israeli women they don’t know about the prisoner’s movements and they don’t know how to behave with their jailers.”

There are thought to be around 7,000 Palestinians in Israeli jails, 2,000 of them in administrative detention. Hundreds more have been arrested and jailed since the war began.

ذكر مصدر في الشرطة الفرنسية أن 13 شخصا بينهم سبعة مرتبطون باليمين المتطرف اعتُقلوا مساء السبت في باريس على خلفية رسم صلبان معقوفة (رمز النازية) في العاصمة. وقبض على هؤلاء بالجرم المشهود في الدائرة السابعة عشرة بباريس. 

   تأتي هذه الاعتقالات على خلفية تزايد حاد في الأعمال المعادية للسامية في فرنسا منذ بداية الحرب بين إسرائيل وحماس.

   وسُجّل أكثر من 1500 عمل معاد للسامية منذ 7 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر وفق أحدث رقم نشرته السلطات. وقال يوناثان عرفي رئيس المجلس التمثيلي للمؤسسات اليهودية في فرنسا في 19 تشرين الثاني/نوفمبر إن ذلك يمثل “ما يعادل ثلاثة أضعاف ما سُجّل عام 2022”.
