Channel 12 says “Israeli sources” have confirmed the Hamas claim that the terror group has released a mother and her daughter who were being held captive in Gaza.
They will be transferred to the International Red Cross who will take them to Egypt and then to Israel, Channel 12 says.
The transfer is expected to take place imminently but there is no exact timeline known yet, the network says.
