IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the military has so far notified the families of 210 hostages that their loved ones are currently being held in the Gaza Strip.
He says the number is not final as the military investigates new information on those missing.
That number does not include Judith Raanan and her teenage daughter Natalie who were released last night by the Hamas terror group.
