Abu Obaidah, spokesman for the Qassam Brigades, says the armed wing of Hamas has decided to release US-Israeli captive Edan Alexander today, Al Jazeera reports.

The captive will be handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross and taken to Israel, where he will be reunited with his family members.

This move is seen as a part of ongoing efforts to restart dialogue, according to Al Jazeera.

In a message relayed by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, the family of the captive urged Israel to secure the release of all remaining captives “without delay”.
