The IDF says Israeli Air Force helicopters are ready for the three Israeli hostages who are set to be released from the Gaza Strip.

The choppers will take them to hospitals after an initial checkup at an army facility near the border.

Family members have sent personal items that are waiting in the helicopters for the hostages.
