The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed that the Red Cross recently returned seven hostages from Hamas in Gaza City.
The released hostages include Matan Angrest, his brothers Gali and Ziv Berman, Elon Ohiel, Eitan Mor, Omri Miran, and Guy Gilboa-Dalal.
According to The Times of Israel, the Red Cross will transfer the hostages to IDF personnel inside Gaza, who will then move them to a military facility near Re’im outside the Strip. There, the hostages will undergo initial physical and mental evaluations and meet with their families.
Earlier, Hamas had released a list of 20 hostages scheduled for release today. Unfortunately, the list did not include Nepali student Bipin Joshi.
As part of a ceasefire agreement with Israel, Hamas has begun releasing hostages, with this first group of seven being the initial batch freed.
