Israeli army says Red Cross confirms handover of 3 captives held in Gaza

Romi Gonen, a 24-year-old, and two other hostages, Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari, were captured during the October 7 massacre in Gaza. Emily Damari, a British citizen, was taken from her home in Kfar Aza kibbutz, and Romi Gonen was kidnapped from the Supernova dance festival. The hostages were believed to have been held in captivity for 15 months. In response to a long-awaited ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the hostages were handed over to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross. The Red Cross confirmed the handover, and the Hostages and Missing Families Forum expressed relief and hope for the return of other hostages still held in captivity.
