Released hostage soldiers Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Albag are now in the hands of IDF troops in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas had handed over the four to the Red Cross, which brought them to the IDF.
They will be brought out of Gaza to a facility near the border for an initial checkup and to meet with their parents for the first time after 477 days in Hamas captivity.
