Red Cross vehicles arrive at Gaza location where Hamas is to release 3 Israeli hostages

Deir Al-Balah (Gaza Strip), Feb 8 (AP) Red Cross vehicles have arrived at the location in the Gaza Strip where Hamas is to free 3 Israeli hostages. The three are to be released on Saturday in exchange for dozens of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel as part of a ceasefire in Gaza that took hold last month.

The hostages to be released on Saturday, according to Hamas and Israel, are: Eli Sharabi, 52; Ohad Ben Ami, 56; and Or Levy, 34. All were abducted during the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, that sparked the war.
