Did they just pass through in white van/bus?


Eta: seeing a few of same vans, maybe due to various feeds (also saw one pass by the prison).

Wonder if they’re doing “van doubles” (like a body double)

13 hostages from Gaza now with Red Cross, making way toward Israel — Israeli official​

The first group of Israeli hostages are now in the hands of the staff of the International Committee for Red Cross and are in ambulances on the way out of Gaza through the Rafah crossing, an Israeli official says.

The release of the 13 hostages is the first of four expected stages. Hamas has agreed to release some 50 hostages over the four days of the truce with Israel, all children, mothers and other women. The sides agreed that Hamas may eventually free more, in exchange for an extension of the ceasefire by a few more days.

The released hostages are only a small group out of some 240 held by Gaza terrorists.

Israel is set to release 150 Palestinian prisoners held for terror offenses, all of them women and minors. It will free 39 today in return for the first 13 Israelis to return
