The first group of Israeli hostages has been handed over to staff of the International Committee of the Red Cross and is being transported by ambulance to the Rafah border crossing, leaving the Gaza Strip. This information was provided by an Israeli official.
The release of these 13 hostages marks the first phase of a four-stage process. Hamas has committed to releasing approximately 50 hostages during the four-day truce with Israel, including children, mothers and other women. In addition, it has been agreed that Hamas could release more hostages in exchange for an extension of the ceasefire for a few additional days.
This first group of freed hostages represents only a fraction of the approximately 240 individuals held by terrorists in Gaza.
Israel, for its part, has agreed to release 150 Palestinian prisoners accused of terrorism crimes, including women and minors. Today, as part of this agreement, Israel will release 39 prisoners in exchange for the return of the first 13 Israeli citizens.
