GAZA, May 12 (Xinhua) — The Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the militant wing of the Palestinian Hamas movement, said in a press statement on Monday that it had released hostage Edan Alexander, a dual US-Israeli citizen, from the southern Gaza Strip.
E. Alexander was handed over to a team of representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross at a specially designated location in the city of Khan Yunis, Hamas sources said. He was then transported to a buffer zone controlled by the Israeli army, after which he was taken to the Raim military base in the south of the Jewish state.
Unlike previous hostage transfers, the current transfer was carried out in a non-public manner and without the presence of armed groups, the sources said. –0–
