Among the roughly 50 hostages slated to be released tomorrow are three Americans, including 3-year-old Avigail Mor Idan — whose parents Roee and Smadar were murdered in front of her during the October 7 Hamas massacre, senior Biden administration official told reporters during a briefing yesterday.
Two other female dual US-Israeli nationals are among the others slated to be released, the official said.
There are currently 10 American citizens who are either being held hostage or are unaccounted for.
