WATCH: Air Force prepared to take hostages home

The IDF said today (Thursday) that it had completed preparations to take the three hostages being released today into Israeli territory to be treated and cared for, including airlifts.

Watch:

Agam Berger has already been handed over to IDF custody from Hamas captivity via the Red Cross, and has now reunited with her family and her violin at the waystation near Kibbutz Re'im, where she will be given an initial medical examination. After this, she will go to a hospital for a more thorough checkup.

Gadi Mozes and Arbel Yehoud are expected to be released to the custody of the Red Cross within minutes.
