All 20 hostages freed by Hamas today have been taken to hospitals in central Israel in Israeli Air Force helicopters, the military says.

The last choppers took off a short while ago from the Re’im base near Gaza with released hostages Matan Zangauker, Maxim Herkin, Segev Kalfon, Avinatan Or, Evyatar David, Eitan Horn, and brothers David and Ariel Cunio, the IDF says.

The hostages are set to meet more family members at the hospitals and undergo rehabilitation after over two years in Hamas captivity.
