First released Israeli hostages sent to medical center

Ten released Israeli hostages were sent to a medical center in Israel on Monday.

Hamas handed over 20 hostages to Israel in two groups on Monday.

A helicopter carrying the released Israeli hostages landed outside the Sheba Medical Center, the largest medical institution in Israel.

Medical staff entered the helicopter cabin after it landed before the released hostages were transferred via a mobile jet bridge to ambulances that took them inside the hospital. The scene was hidden from view and from the scores of cameras and journalists gathered on site to witness the hostages return.

The released hostages were sent to different medical departments based on their physical condition. The hospital has a cardiology research institute, and a children's medical center.
