Hamas handed over 3 more Israeli hostages to the Red Cross in the last exchange. The three Israeli hostages are Omer Wenkert, Omer Shem Tov, and Eliya Cohen. They were brought out by the Hamas and paraded on stage in the town of Nuseirat. The freed hostages have arrived at an IDF facility for a physical and mental checkup. The released hostages have spent 505 days in Hamas captivity, and have now crossed the border into Israel. The father of Omer Tov said that his son’s happy demeanor at the release showcases his personality. “Omer is thinner… but is upbeat, upbeat, the most positive-minded in the world,” said his mother in a video call to Channel 12.“We didn’t even know what he would look like. He just came out and surprised us all, with the smile, the wave — it’s just crazy,’ said his brother, Malki Tov.
