Israel has reportedly sent a message of protest to negotiators following the chaotic handover of hostages Arbel Yehoud and Gadi Mozes to the Red Cross inside Gaza.

The two civilian hostages were surrounded by a screaming and shoving mob in Khan Younis as they were transferred from Palestinian Islamic Jihad to the Red Cross.

There was no immediate comment from the Prime Minister’s Office.
