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

The choppers will take hostages Eli Sharabi, Or Levy and Ohad Ben Ami to hospitals in central Israel after an initial checkup at an army facility near the Gaza border.
