The wife of Omri Miran, Lishay Miran-Lavi, posts a photo of their two daughters, Roni (4) and Alma (2), with baggage ready.
A Channel 12 report says the families of living hostages are expected to be told in the next hour or so about the likely timing of their loved ones’ release, so that their closest relatives will know when they are likely to be taken to the IDF’s Re’im facility, near the Gaza border, to meet them after the IDF escorts them into Israel from the Strip.
The release of the 20 living hostages is expected to begin before dawn tomorrow, but the timing has not been finalized.
