TEL AVIV, ISRAEL (AP) — The Israeli military says its forces in Gaza received the latest three hostages freed by Hamas and was bringing them back into Israel.

In a statement, the military said the three would undergo an initial medical assessment.

The three Israeli men in their 20s – Omer Wenkert, Omer Shem Tov, and Eliya Cohen – were handed over by Hamas to the Red Cross in the central Gaza town of Nuseirat.

Earlier in the day, Hamas freed two other hostages and a sixth is due to be released later Saturday.
