The three Israeli hostages released by Hamas on Sunday—Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher, and Emily Damari—have now safely returned to Israel, according to an official statement from the Israeli military.
Their return marks a moment of relief for their families, as the hostages are now being reunited with their mothers, who made the journey to Re’im, a town in southern Israel, to greet them. The emotional reunion follows the release of the hostages as part of the ongoing efforts surrounding the ceasefire agreement.
“The released hostages are currently en route to an initial reception point in southern Israel, where they will undergo a preliminary medical assessment,” the Israeli military stated. Following this, they will be transferred to Sheba Medical Center in Tel Aviv for further care.
Earlier, the Red Cross facilitated the transfer of the hostages to the Israeli military in Gaza, as confirmed by the military in a statement.
