Hostages Emily Damari and Doron Steinbrecher have new caravan homes waiting for them upon return
Kibbutz Kfar Aza has built two new caravan homes that will be ready for hostages Emily Damari and Doron Steinbrecher upon their return from Hamas captivity, Channel 12 reports.
As female civilians, they are expected to be among the first hostages released when the deal commences on Sunday.
Israeli authorities have prepared backpacks with some of the hostages’ favorite items inside, which they will receive immediately upon their release.
Each hostage will be able to decide where they’d like to go after their release from the hospital, either to a hotel or their family’s home.
