Red Cross on way to pick up more hostages from Hamas
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
A convoy of Red Cross vehicles is now heading to a handover site in the southern Gaza Strip to collect several more hostages from Hamas, the IDF says.
The Red Cross will then bring the hostages to IDF troops inside Gaza, to be escorted out of the Strip to an army facility near Re’im, where they will undergo an initial physical and mental checkup and meet their families
Earlier, seven hostages were freed by Hamas from Gaza City.
