A long-awaited reunion is underway as the Red Cross takes custody of Israeli-American Edan Alexander, paving the way for his return home after weeks in Hamas captivity.
Yael Alexander, the mother of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander, has arrived in Israel to reunite with her son, who is expected to be freed later today. The Red Cross has now taken custody of Alexander, according to both Hamas and Israeli officials.
The handover took place in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, as confirmed by an Israeli official. The Red Cross will transfer Alexander to a special Israeli military unit, which will escort him to the Re'im military base. There, he will undergo initial medical and psychological evaluation before reuniting with his family.
Following this, Edan Alexander and his family will be airlifted to a hospital in Tel Aviv. Israeli authorities say the release will follow the same procedures used in previous hostage returns and have confirmed that any footage of the reunion will only be shared with the family's consent.
Calm was reported in Gaza on Monday afternoon, with no airstrikes or drone activity since midday. The decision to release Alexander—who was previously believed to be dead—was communicated to Israel on Sunday.
U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed the news on his social media platform, calling the release “great news.”
