The Red Cross has successfully secured seven Israeli hostages freed by Hamas in northern Gaza following the U.S.-brokered ceasefire. The hostages are now en route to Re`im Base in southern Israel, where tearful reunions with families are underway. The historic Hamas-Israel agreement involves the exchange of 20 hostages for over 1,900 Palestinian prisoners, marking one of the largest prisoner swaps in recent Middle East history. All seven Israeli hostages are reported to be in stable condition, requiring no emergency evacuation. Upon handover, the IDF has transported the hostages for thorough medical examinations, ensuring their safe return home. WATCH
