Jerusalem, Feb 22: Israel's military confirmed on Saturday that the Red Cross received a sixth Israeli hostage, believed to be Hisham al-Sayed, who was captured in Gaza nearly a decade ago. This follows the release of five other captives earlier in the day by Palestinian militants.
"According to the information communicated by the Red Cross, an additional hostage was transferred to them, and he is on his way to IDF (military) and ISA (security agency) forces in the Gaza Strip," stated a joint release by Israel’s military and domestic security agency.
