The implementation of the agreement between Hamas and Israel on the tradition of hostages and the liberation of Palestinian prisoners continued today as the Palestinian organization handed over the two Israeli hostages, Yarden Bibas and ofer Kalderon to the Red Cross.
Shortly before, they had arrived at Han Younes of the Red Cross to receive some of the Israeli hostages that would be released today.
At first two hostages were released, while the third was released a few hours later later in the port of the city of Gaza.
The first two hostages, Bibas and Kalderon surrendered from the Red Cross to the Israeli army and returned to Israel, Israeli armed forces said in a statement.
The two men were “accompanied by (members of the Special Forces) to Israeli territory,” the source said.
The 52 -year -old ofer Kalderon was abducted by Nir Oz Kibutch along with his son Erez, who was 11 years old, and Sahar’s daughter, who was 16. 2023.

Recall that the three hostages were released in exchange for more than 180 Palestinian prisoners, who are expected to be released later today.
Hamas claimed in November 2023 that Shiri, Kfir and Ariel Bibas were killed in an Israeli air raid and released a Yarden Bibas hostage video accusing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for their death.
A spokesman for the IDF at that time called the video “Psychological Terror”. Although Israel has never confirmed their death, the army told relatives that they may not be alive, according to a spokesman for the hostage and missing families forum.
