Source says Edan Alexander could be freed as early as Monday

Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief

The goal is for Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander to be released early this week — potentially as early as Monday, a source involved in the process tells The Times of Israel.

Certain security measures need to be taken in order for the release to move forward, such as Israel halting military operations and drone surveillance of parts of the Strip, as it has had to do in previous releases, the source says.
