The Israeli military said Monday it had taken custody of the 13 other living hostages still in the Gaza Strip. The military said it received the hostages from the Red Cross. The 13 hostages will be transferred to a military base in southern Israel to be reunited with their families. They’ll then be taken by helicopter to Israeli hospitals. Hamas earlier said it would release the 20 living hostages in the Gaza Strip in exchange for over 1,900 Palestinian prisoners. The exchange comes as part of the ceasefire reached in the two-year Israel-Hamas war as President Donald Trump visits the region.
