A convoy of Red Cross vehicles is set to arrive at a hostage handover site set up by Hamas in central Gaza’s Nuseirat in a few minutes, an Israeli defense official says.
Hostages Omer Shem Tov, Eliya Cohen and Omer Wenkert are set to be released by Hamas there.
Hisham al-Sayed, the sixth hostage being freed today, will be handed over to the Red Cross at a third site, in Gaza City, according to the official.
