After being held captive in Gaza for 15 months, four female Israeli soldiers are now back on Israeli soil, as confirmed by the Israel Defense Forces.
The soldiers, identified as Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Albag, all in their early twenties, were handed over to a Red Cross team in Gaza before being transferred to a rendezvous point inside Gaza with the Israeli military.
The Israel Defense Forces have reported that the returning hostages are currently en route to an initial reception point in southern Israel, where they will soon be reunited with their parents.
This development marks the end of a long and difficult ordeal for the four soldiers and their families, who have been anxiously awaiting their safe return.
The details surrounding their capture and release have not been disclosed at this time, but the Israeli authorities have expressed gratitude for the successful resolution of this situation.
As the soldiers make their way back home, the nation celebrates their safe return and looks forward to hearing their firsthand accounts of their time in captivity.
