Arbel Yehoud, Gadi Moses, and the five Thai civilians who were released from captivity in the Gaza Strip on Thursday were transferred to Israeli territory by Israeli security forces, the military and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) said.
In Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, they were transferred to the Red Cross vehicles, surrounded by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists along with masses of Gazan civilians during their release.
Earlier, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group published a video showing hostage Moses and Yehoud ahead of the scheduled release.

German-Israeli hostage Arbel Yehoud, 29, was also abducted from Nir Oz.
Earlier, IDF observer Agam Berger was released from Hamas captivity.
