"A short while ago, Red Cross representatives transferred two Israeli released hostages to IDF special forces and ISA forces adjacent to the security fence with the Gaza Strip. Afterwards, they will make their way to the Hatzerim Base," the report said.
They were identified as 21-year-old Mia Schem and 40-year-old Amit Soussana.
