It stopped -Fires from Gaza hung in the balance last night after Hamas stated that it postponed the release of hostages for an indefinite period of time.
Israel moved to the 'highest level of Alert' in response to the announcement of the terror group that effectively violates the agreement.
The fears grew before the remaining 76 prisoners after the last three to be released, reported, beaten, starved and burned in almost 500 days of torture.
A top Israeli source warned the post that the terror imposed or levy, 34, Eli Sharabi, 54 and Ohad Ben Ami, 56, 'just the tip of the iceberg'. “Unfortunately we know that Hamas first released it in the best state,” they said.
But Hamas' shock announcement means that those who are still in the strip must fight to survive any longer – with a collapse in the deal that represents a possible death sentence.
The hostage forum, which represents the families of the prisoners, insisted on mediators last night to help the existing deal effectively recover and implement. '
A spokesperson said: 'We are at the Israeli government and encourage to maintain the conditions that will guarantee the successful continuation of the agreement, which leads to the safe return of our 76 brothers and sisters.
“Recent proof of the released, as well as the shocking circumstances of the hostages released last Saturday, leave no room for doubt – time is essential and all hostages must be rescued from this horrible situation.”
Hamas stated on Monday that it postponed the release of hostages indefinitely, so that the peace agreement was effectively violated. Displayed: members of the military wing of Hamas

Hamas quoted Israeli 'violations' and 'absence to comply with the conditions of the agreement' for the relocation.
It accused the IDF of 'postponing the return of the moved to the northern Gaza Strip' and 'focused on them with shelling and gunfire'.
A spokesperson said that in response the release of three prisoners this Saturday (15/2) 'will be postponed until further notice'.
They demanded that Israel 'connections and compensates for the rights of the past weeks with retroactive effect'.
The Israel minister of Israel, Israel Katz, responded by instructing the IDF to prepare himself at the highest level of Alert for every possible scenario in Gaza '.
An Israeli source involved in negotiations said: “If Hamas does not release the hostages as agreed, it is clear that this will have far -reaching consequences.”
A spokesperson for the office of Benjamin Netanyahu said that the families of the hostages were told that “Israel is insisting to maintain the agreement in its entirety and see every violation with Ernst.”
About 21 hostages have been released in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners since the first phase of the cease -the proximity was put into operation on January 19.
Israel rather delayed the release of Palestinian prisoners who quoted infringements on Hamas, but mediators managed to keep the deal on schedule.

The agreement stipulates that more should be released in the coming three weeks before they go to a second phase that would free the remaining hostages in exchange for the IDF who leaves Gaza.
But that phase is much more difficult, with the remaining extreme right -wing allies of Netanyahu who say they prefer a return to the war and the government will leave if the next part is implemented.
It means that the deal will become more precarious in the coming days and weeks.
Family members of hostages hope that US President Donald Trump can help bridge the gaps after his diplomacy has succeeded in implementing the first deal that Joe Biden escaped for a year.
Stories of those who are liberated only contribute to the urgency. Idit Ohel received the first sign of life for her son Alon, 24, when the three men were liberated on Saturday.
But they revealed that he had been held in chains, had suffered a grenade wound and was deep underground since she was abducted on October 7, 2023.
“He has been to the tunnels all the time and suffers from serious prisoners, including poor food,” she said. “He has an eye injury that we were not aware of.”
Seeing the images of those released last weekend, President Trump said: They looked out as survivors of Holocaust, they were in terrible state. They were starving … I don't know how long we can take it. '

Hamas and Israel would discuss a second phase of the ceasefire on 3 February
Mr. Trump has suggested that Palestinians in Gaza should be deported to neighboring countries as part of a broader peace plan.
It has made the Palestinians furious with Arabic leaders who reject the idea as a draw against 'ethnic cleaning', while the American allies have expressed concern.
The president also hopes that he can build on the success of the Abraham agreements in his last term, so that Israel normalized relations with different regimes in the region.
He longs for a deal between Israel and Saudi Aarabia, which would help bring peace, but in return Riyad would like an obligation to a Palestinian state.
