Israeli hostages Omer Shem Tov, Eliya Cohen, and Omer Wenkert are handed over to the Red Cross in central Gaza’s Nuseirat, with Hamas’s usual signing ceremony with the aid group.
Axar.az reports citing the Times of Israel.
They are brought on stage to receive certificates from the terrorists. The three look thin but are on their feet and smiling and waving, as their families react with joy watching from Israel.
Hisham al-Sayed, the sixth hostage being freed today, will reportedly be handed over to the Red Cross at a third site, in Gaza City, without ceremony.
Released hostages Omer Shem Tov, Eliya Cohen, and Omer Wenkert have crossed the border into Israel, after 505 days in Hamas captivity, the IDF says.
The three were escorted out of the Gaza Strip by Israeli special forces after being handed over to them by the Red Cross. The IDF is bringing them to a facility near the border for an initial physical and mental checkup, and to meet with family members.
