The final 13 living hostages held by Hamas have been transferred to the Red Cross, Hebrew-language media report.
This means there are now no living hostages still help captive by Hamas.
There is no official word yet on the transfer from the Israel Defense Forces or the Red Cross.
Hamas had been set to hand over the 13 remaining living hostages from southern Gaza, having handed over the first seven earlier this morning.
The bodies of 28 other hostages remain in the terror group’s hands, with plans to transfer some of them to Israel later today.
