The seven have since been brought to an IDF facility near Re’im for an initial checkup and to meet with their families.

Earlier, Arab media outlets published footage from minutes after the hostages were handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza City showing Red Cross vehicles leaving the area, along with vehicles belonging to Hamas fighters.

רכבי הצלב האדום עוזבים את נקודת מסירת החטופים בעיר עזה, לאחר ההעברה. תיעוד שמפרסם גם ערוץ אל-ג'זירה (ערוצים קטרים, כולם להראות מופתעים). כאמור אנשי הזרוע הצבאית במקום, נראה שמנעו מקהל ועיתונאים להיכנס למתחם ההעברה עצמו https://t.co/H5io1pMqKS pic.twitter.com/QprT9D4DoJ

Armed Hamas men in the uniforms of the group’s military wing could be seen at the scene.

It appears the exchange itself took place in a closed compound, with no access granted to the public or journalists.
