The Israeli military has confirmed that Israeli-American hostage Keith Siegel was in its custody, after Hamas fighters handed him over to the Red Cross in Gaza, AFP reports.
“The returning hostage is currently being accompanied by IDF (military) special forces and ISA (internal security) forces on his return to Israeli territory, where he will undergo an initial medical assessment,” the military said after the 65-year-old was released in a ceremony in Gaza City.
