Hamas has now released three Israeli hostages, the Jerusalem Post reports.

They have been collected by the Red Cross.

The three women Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari are the first to be released during the ceasefire between Hamas and Istael.

Just before 3 p.m., Swedish time, images and video clips appeared showing Red Cross vehicles driving in convoy through Gaza.

About half an hour later reports Jerusalem Post that the three women have been handed over to the Red Cross. The paper cites a security source.

At the same time, the IDF has published images from inside the helicopter that will take the women to hospital, after an initial health check at an Israeli military base.
