Most of the Israeli hostages released by Hamas today appeared to be in good physical health upon return to Israel, the hospital receiving them says.
A statement from Schneider Children’s hospital, where four mothers and four child hostages were released, says that doctors had conducted a preliminary examination and said they were all in good physical condition.
A total of 13 Israeli hostages were freed Friday and transferred to three separate hospitals across Israel.
Danielle Aloni, her daughter Emilia Aloni, Doron Asher, and her daughters Raz Asher and Aviv Asher, and Keren Munder, her mother Ruti Munder and her son Ohad Munder were being treated Schneider Children’s Medical Center in Petah Tikva. Five other Israeli hostages, all elderly women, are being cared for at Wolfson Hospital in Holon.
Wolfson says some of the women are “feeble and exhausted” and are not likely to be allowed to go home tomorrow, Ynet reports.
Bridging the US-Israel divide
While the heart of The Times of Israel’s work takes place in Israel, so many of Jerusalem’s actions are influenced by those in Washington’s halls of power.
As ToI’s US bureau chief, I work to gain access to decision-makers in the United States government so our readers can understand the US-Israel relationship beyond the platitudes evident in public statements.
I'm proud of our ability to inform without sensationalizing, our dedication to be fast while ensuring accuracy, and our determination to present Israel's entire, complex story.
