Hamas is transporting the three Israeli hostages slated for release today in a vehicle stolen from Israel during the October 7 massacre, a source in the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing, tells Al Jazeera.

Palestinian media report that some Hamas terrorists arrived at Khan Younis for the handover wearing IDF uniforms and military vests, carrying weapons seized on October 7.

The source adds that Hamas presented hostage Sagui Dekel-Chen with a gold coin as a “gift” for the birth of his daughter, who was born four months after he was taken captive.
