The IDF says the Red Cross has notified the military that it has collected seven hostages from Hamas in Gaza City a short while ago.
The seven are named as Matan Angrest, brothers Gali and Ziv Berman, Alon Ohel, Eitan Mor, Omri Miran, and Guy Gilboa-Dalal.
The Red Cross is now bringing the hostages to IDF troops inside Gaza; they will then be escorted out of the Strip to an army facility near Re’im, where they will undergo an initial physical and mental checkup and meet their families.
The other 13 living hostages will be released later today from different areas of Gaza.
