Handover to take place in northern Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp

The hostage handover today is expected to take place in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.

There, an NBC News crew saw a platform set up with large posters bearing the logo of IDF battalions that fought in the area.

The hostages are set to be delivered from different parts of the enclave.

Abu Hamza, a spokesperson for Islamic Jihad’s military wing, the Al-Quds Brigades, said the militant group had already completed the procedures for the release of Arbel Yehoud, 29, and Gabi Moses, 80.

The eight hostages expected to be released today

Three Israeli and five Thai hostages are set to be freed as part of the ceasefire deal that will also see more than 100 Palestinian prisoners being released from Israeli prisons.

Arbel Yehoud, 29, Agam Berger, 20, and Gadi Moses, 80, have been named as the Israeli hostages down for release, but the names of their Thai counterparts have not been made public.

Israeli officials expected Yehoud to be released last weekend but Hamas instead released captive soldiers which Israel said was in violation of the agreement.
