Caption: This video footage shows the moment 12 hostages released by Hamas from Gaza on Tuesday (28November2023) re-entered Israeli territory. The hostages include 10 Israelis and two foreign nationals, both from Thailand. The IDF said the hostages went through Egypt before heading to a meeting point in Kerem Shalom, in Israel. The release was part of an ongoing truce in hostilities between Israel and Hamas that has resulted in prisoner releases of Palestinians jailed in Israel, with 30 being released as part of this swap. In a statement, Israeli officials said: “IDF Special Forces and ISA Forces are currently with the 12 released hostages. After an initial medical assessment, the released hostages will continue to be accompanied by IDF soldiers as they make their way to Israeli hospitals, where they will be reunited with their families. “The Israel Defense Forces salutes and embraces the released hostages upon their return home. “The IDF, together with the entire Israeli security establishment, will continue to operate to bring home all the hostages. “The IDF Spokesperson reiterates the importance of demonstrating patience and sensitivity during this time out of respect for the released hostages and their families.”
