Adi Alexander, the father of hostage soldier Edan Alexander, has been airlifted by an Israeli Air Force helicopter from Ben Gurion Airport to the Re’im base in southern Israel, shortly after arriving in the country from the US, a defense official says.

Alexander is currently being escorted out of the Gaza Strip by the IDF and brought to the IDF facility near Re’im for an initial checkup and to meet with his family.

His mother arrived at the Re’im base earlier today.
