00:00Major, major drama here right now. I'll show you behind me. You see, Israelis are following the exchange of the hostages from Hamas hands to the Red Cross live via Al Arabiya TV and Gazan TikTok channels.
00:17The thousands of people around me here who have gathered in Hostages Square just erupted in applause at the sight of the first hostage to be seen transferred from Hamas to the Red Cross.
00:30I don't yet know which one of the three she was but Israelis have heard just in the last half an hour that the Red Cross reported to Israel that the three young women to be released are in stable condition.
00:43Arrangements have been made to transfer them by helicopter to Sheba Hospital in Tel Aviv, which was the best case scenario.
00:52Other arrangements had been put into place in case they were in much more dangerous or precarious health condition.
00:59And you really have felt in the last half an hour the entire atmosphere of this square completely change from anxiety, from anger at the government to a sort of relief that is now becoming really palpable as these events proceed.
