Ichilov helipad awaiting arrival of freed hostages
A military helicopter carrying freed hostages Nurit Cooper and Yocheved Lifshitz, or possibly one carrying their families, appears to be approaching Ichilov hospital in Tel Aviv.
Crews are waiting for the choppers on the hospital roof.
In Washington, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan says on X that the US welcomes their release and is continuing to work for the freedom of the other 220 or so people kidnapped by Hamas.
We welcome today’s release of two Israeli citizens held hostage by Hamas. We continue to do everything possible to secure the release of all remaining hostages in Gaza.
