Seven hostages have been transferred to the Red Cross in Gaza.
An announcement to that effect from a speaker at Hostages Square elicits a loud cheer.
The seven are Gali and Ziv Berman, Matan Angrest, Alon Ohel, Omri Miran, Eitan Mor and Guy Gilboa-Dallal, according to reports.
The Saudi Al-Hadath channel also reports that the Red Cross has received seven living hostages in Gaza City, after the Qatari Al-Araby channel says the hostages are being transferred by Hamas’s military wing.
There is no official comment from the IDF.
