Here’s what is expected to happen in the next few minutes and hours:
At 2:00 PM GMT (4:00 PM local time), Hamas is going to let go of 13 hostages in Gaza. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) will then take them to Egypt at the Rafah border.
The Israeli military will arrive in Israel around 16:00 GMT and will get a medical checkup at an airbase.
The 13 people will go to the hospital in a helicopter and see their families there.
We don’t know their names yet, but we do know they will all be women and children.
After the prisoners are moved, 39 Palestinians are going to be let go from Israel’s Ofer prison, which is in the West Bank, and given to the ICRC.
We now know the names of 24 women and 15 men on the list.
They will be taken to an Israeli military checkpoint in the West Bank and then allowed to go back home, according to Israel’s prison service.
The buses are prepared to pick up the Palestinians who are going to be released from prison. Israeli ambulances have been sent to the Kerem-Shalom border area in southern Israel.
