An IDF investigation into the death of hostage Yossi Sharabi — whose brother Eli is due to be released by Hamas today — found he may have been killed by Israeli strikes on Gaza.

“It is possible that Yossi was killed by the collapse of a building adjacent to an IDF target,” the Israeli military said in a investigation presented to the Sharabi family in February 2024. “However, it cannot be ruled out that he was killed by Hamas.”

The IDF said “lessons were learned regarding target approval processes,” as a result of the investigation.

Red Cross vehicles have arrived in Deir Al-Balah, where Hamas are set to release three male civilian hostages today.

The convoy has had to weave its way through the hundreds of civilians who have gathered to watch the release, many of them holding their phones and cameras aloft to capture the moment.

Hamas vehicles carrying the hostages have not arrived yet.

The brother of Or Levy, one of the hostages who is set to be freed today, told Reuters he could not “even start to describe the emotions that the excitement,” he felt about seeing his sibling.

“We are waiting to hug him," said Michael Levy, adding that he was also thrilled that his nephew Almog, 3, would be able to hug his father again.

Levy was taken captive at the Nova music festival. His wife Einav was killed.

People have started to gather in Tel Aviv’s “Hostage Square” ahead of today’s release. Some held Israeli flags and other posters of hostages who remain in captivity.
