Morning Digest | Israel releases 39 Palestinians while Hamas frees 24 hostages, drilling snags hold up Silkyara tunnel rescue, and more

No movement in Silkyara on Friday, as drilling snags keep rescuers and workers about 10 metres apart

Rescue teams were not able to move even an inch closer to the 41 workers trapped in the collapsed Silkyara tunnel by November 24 evening, as the entire day was taken up in fixing snags in the drilling machine and using radar to scan the debris ahead for any further obstacles. There are only ten metres of debris left between rescuers drilling in from the Silkyara end and the trapped workers, but officials say it is difficult to anticipate when this last leg of the operation will be completed.
