The Al Jazeera news network publishes an image of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander in the moments before his release.
In the photo, Alexander is standing unassisted, with his hands folded in front of him. He is flanked by a Red Cross worker, and three armed and masked Hamas terrorists.
Alexander, despite being a soldier, is not seen wearing the quasi-military uniform that Hamas forced other released hostages to wear during their release.
