Released hostage Hisham al-Sayed is now in the hands of IDF troops in the Gaza Strip, the military says.

Hamas handed al-Sayed over to the Red Cross in Gaza City without a ceremony. He was then taken to Israeli forces inside Gaza.

He will be brought out of the Strip to an army facility near the border community of Re’im for an initial checkup.
