The IDF expects Hamas to release hostages Yarden Bibas, Ofer Calderon and Keith Siegel in the morning hours tomorrow.
The military is preparing for the hostages to be released at more than one location in Gaza, similar to yesterday’s releases in both the north and south of the Strip.
All three hostages will be escorted out of Gaza by IDF troops to an army facility near Re’im, where they will undergo an initial physical and mental checkup and meet their families.
From there, they will be taken to Ichilov and Sheba hospitals in central Israel.
If any of the three hostages require urgent medical care, they will be immediately taken to Soroka or Barzilai hospitals in southern Israel, without stopping by the Re’im facility.
