The Times of Israel reports: “The families of some of the Gaza hostages headed to the IDF’s Re’im base, near the Gaza border, on Monday morning, in preparation for their loved ones’ release, as supporters gathered at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv to watch the developments unfold from afar.

Dozens of flag-waving Israelis gathered outside the Re’im base, cheering on the families that arrived to be reunited with their loved ones and waiting to welcome the freed hostages once they make their way to hospitals in central Israel.

Several people were gathered on the road directly outside the base, across from an idling convoy of Magen David Adom emergency vehicles and police cruisers. Some dance and clap as cars pass them by.

Others celebrating the hostages’ return lined other sections of Route 232, the main highway in the area, forming a cordon to salute those returning from two years of captivity.

The families were told to arrive at the Re’im facility by 7:30 a.m. on Monday, before Hamas began to transfer seven living hostages to the Red Cross…”
