Dr. Lena Koren Feldman of Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva tells reporters that an initial assessment of four hostage soldiers who were released from Hamas captivity in Gaza today after 477 days found them to be in stable medical condition, though “the prolonged captivity in harsh conditions is evident.”

Earlier, a Health Ministry official said the release of the hostages was “emotionally and medically complex for those returning and their families, for the families of all hostages.”

Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Albag were released by the terror group this morning after being paraded through a Gaza City square before being handed over to the Red Cross. They were helicoptered to Rabin hospital after reuniting with their parents at an IDF facility near the Gaza border.
