SCRIPT

Preparations are underway at Israel’s Raim military base, located near the Gaza border, for the expected transfer of hostages set to be released under the Gaza cease-fire agreement on Monday, Oct. 13.

Footage from the area showed a helicopter arriving at the base, reportedly to transport released Israelis to hospitals for medical evaluation, and Israeli people waiting for the exchange.

Tel Aviv estimates that 48 Israelis are being held in Gaza, including 20 still alive, while more than 11,100 Palestinians are imprisoned in Israel, many of whom suffer from torture, starvation and medical neglect -- conditions that have led to deaths, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights and media reports

Phase one of the Gaza ceasefire agreement took effect at midday Friday. Israeli forces completed a gradual withdrawal to the so-called yellow line, triggering a 72-hour window for the exchange process.

Phase two reportedly envisions creating a new governing mechanism in Gaza without Hamas, forming a joint security force of Palestinians and troops from Arab and Islamic countries, and disarming Hamas.

Since October 2023, Israeli attacks have killed almost 67,700 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and left the enclave largely uninhabitable.
