Two hostages, Yarden Bibas and Ofer Kalderon, have arrived in southern Israel after being handed over by Hamas in Gaza. The fate of Bibas’ wife and two young children remains unclear, as Hamas claims they were killed in an Israeli airstrike, but the family hopes they are still alive and will be released in a ceasefire exchange. The handover was orderly, in contrast to a previous chaotic exchange. The Israeli military confirms that two hostages are on their way to Israeli territory for medical assessment, with a third expected to be released soon. American Keith Siegel is among the hostages set to be released, as part of a prisoner exchange with Israel. Siegel, 65, was taken in the same attack as Bibas and Kalderon, and was last seen in a video where he assured his family he was okay. The hostage exchange is ongoing, with the Red Cross overseeing the process. The families of the hostages are eagerly awaiting their reunions and are being supported by the Israeli government and security agencies. The situation remains tense as the fate of those still held captive is uncertain.
