Released hostage soldiers Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy and Liri Albag are in relatively good physical condition, military officials say.

The four were checked by army doctors when they were handed over to the IDF by the Red Cross inside Gaza.

“Their medical condition is normal, with no findings that require special medical intervention on the ground,” the officials say.

They will undergo further assessments by doctors and mental health officers at an army base near the border, before being taken to a hospital.
