Report: Hostages will be handed over at two locations in Gaza, as in previous rounds
Hamas will hand over the three Israeli hostages from more than one location in the Gaza Strip, as in the previous two rounds, according to Palestinian media reports.
The release is expected to take place Saturday morning on Salah ad-Din Street in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, according to the Palestinian Quds News Network, with one release at 8:30 a.m. and another at noon.
There is no official confirmation of the schedule for the release, which comes amid a hostage-ceasefire deal with the Palestinian terror group that came into effect last month.
