First 7 Hostages Released in Israeli Custody
Hamas released seven hostages on Monday, the first to be released as part of a cease-fire that has paused two years of war between Israel and Hamas in the devastated Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military acknowledged having received seven hostages after they were freed by Hamas and given to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
The seven hostages will cross into Israel and be transferred to a military base in southern Israel to be reunited with their families. They’ll then be taken by helicopter to Israeli hospitals.
