In addition to a stage set up in northern Gaza’s Jabalia, Hamas has also made preparations outside the home of the former leader of the terror group Yahya Sinwar in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis for the release of some of the hostages this morning.

The IDF had prepared for separate releases of the three Israeli and five Thai hostages, in different areas of Gaza.
