The first of the remaining October 7 hostages are being released this morning as part of the Israel-Hamas peace deal.

They include Gali and Ziv Berman, Matan Angrest, Alon Ohel, Omri Miran, Eitan Mor and Guy Gilboa-Dallal, according to Ynet. The seven will be taken to the Rei’im base in southern Israel, where they will be reunited with their families.
