Thousands of Israelis Gather at 'Hostages Square' Awaiting Release of Captives

Thousands of Israelis have gathered at the so-called 'Hostages Square' in central Tel Aviv, awaiting the release of men who have been held captive in the Gaza Strip for over two years. State broadcaster Kan reports that relatives of the hostages are currently assembling at the Rami Air Force Base in southern Israel, where the captives are expected to be transferred after their release.

Today, the Palestinian movement 'HAMAS' has published a list of 20 live hostages who are expected to be freed. Among them is Maxim Kharkhin, a native of the Donbass region. The first group of hostages is expected to be released at 8:00 AM Moscow time.
