Aviva Siegel and her son Shay are on their way to meet her husband and father Keith Siegel, who is the last of the hostages expected to be handed over. Other hostages, Ofer Kalderon and Yarden Bibas have already been released in Khan Younis. The exchange of Kalderon was shown in a video, with 183 Palestinian prisoners also expected to be released today. The prisoners include those with life sentences and high sentences. The deal involved releasing 30 Palestinian prisoners for each civilian hostage. Hamas militants are awaiting the Red Cross at Gaza Port to hand over Keith Siegel. Kalderon and Bibas have arrived in southern Israel, but the fate of Bibas’ wife and two young sons remains unknown, as they were taken hostage along with him. The orderly handover of the two hostages in Khan Younis was in contrast to a chaotic handover the day before. The IDF confirmed the transfer of the two hostages and stated that Siegel is expected to be the third hostage released. Both Kalderon and Bibas are on their way to Israeli territory for a medical assessment. Siegel, along with Kalderon and Bibas, are the three hostages being released in this exchange. Despite being an American-Israeli, Siegel was among the hostages named by Hamas for release.
