After a rough beginning, the truce is starting to become more stable.
We are seeing more help going to the Gaza Strip, and Palestinians are able to move around more safely.
We are waiting for 4:00 PM local time (2:00 PM GMT). At that time, 13 out of 50 Israeli hostages will be given to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
They will be taken out through Egypt’s Rafah crossing and there are specific rules for what happens next.
People crossing from Egypt to Israel will meet Israeli security officers. Their identities will be checked, and they will have a medical check. Then, they will be flown to Israel by helicopter.
After that, it will be a few hours until the first Palestinian prisoners are released from Israeli jails as agreed.
Date:
Israel to receive hostages via Egypt
