Alexander release likely to occur during latter half of Monday — source
Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief
A source familiar with efforts to secure the release of hostage Edan Alexander tells The Times of Israel that the hostage will likely be freed from Gazan captivity sometime Monday afternoon or evening.
The source speaks on condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the efforts.
Israel’s Channel 12 news reports that the release will occur at noon, relying on Saudi paper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, which quotes a Hamas source for the timing of the exchange.
