These bases will be the first points of contact for the hostages, at the Kerem Shalom, Eretz crossings and at the one near Kibbutz Réïm, said a military official. According to the Israeli army, doctors and psychologists will provide medical care and support to those released, who will then be taken to hospital for further treatment and reunited with their families.
According to this agreement, which will come into force in the morning, from 8:30 a.m. (7:30 a.m. BST), the first three hostages must be released first by Hamas. The Israeli news site Ynet reports that their release is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. (3:00 p.m. BST).
