Former hostages Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher — along with their mothers — have landed at Tel Hashomer Hospital in central Israel after being airlifted from an army facility on the Gaza border, the IDF says.
They will meet with the rest of their family members there and receive medical care.
“The IDF, Shin Bet, Mossad, and the health system are prepared to continue receiving additional hostages and are working to return all the hostages,” the military adds.
