Taking flight - Helicopters over Israel's Re'im military base ahead of return of hostages

"Helicopters were seen over Re'im military base in southern Israel on Monday, as final preparations were underway for the returned of the Hamas hostages. The 20 living hostages are set to be handed over by Hamas to the Red Cross on Monday, before transfer to Re'im military base in Israel. The bodies of 28 deceased hostages will also be returned later, while around 1,700 Palestinians detained in Gaza since October 2023 and 250 more serving life sentences, will be freed under the deal. Donald Trump is in Israel to address the Knesset and meet with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and the families of hostages on Monday, before flying to Egypt for the official signing of the peace deal. The first phase of the deal, agreed by Israel and Hamas last week, includes the ceasefire, the swapping of hostages and prisoners, and the Israeli military withdrawal to the 'yellow line' in Gaza. Subsequent phases will include the governance of Gaza, the future of Hamas and the reconstruction of the enclave. "
