The individuals who were held captive and have now been liberated are identified as Alexander Troufanov, Yair Horn, and Sagui Dekel-Chen.

The three men addressed a crowd that was gathered around the stage in Khan Younis.

The Red Cross cars ferried the men out of Khan Younis, followed by a truck full of gun-wielding Hamas terrorists.

The men are expected to soon be handed to IDF forces.

Cheers rang out in Hostage Square in Televiv as live images showed the release unfolding.

Sasha is a Russian-Israeli citizen, and Sagui is an American-Israeli.
