Released hostage Hisham al-Sayed has crossed the border into Israel, after nearly 3,600 days in Hamas captivity, the IDF says.
He was escorted out of the Gaza Strip by Israeli special forces, after being handed over to them by the Red Cross. The IDF is bringing him to a facility near the border for an initial physical and mental checkup, and to meet with family members.
