The occupying army raised its state of alert to the highest level, as logistical preparations for carrying out the exchange operation entered their final stages on the other side of the border.
Hebrew media reported that teams from the International Committee of the Red Cross were able, on Sunday evening, to visit the detainees held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, just a few hours before the scheduled start of the exchange operation tomorrow morning, Monday.
This visit, which came in response to repeated demands from the families of the detainees and the international community, is an important step that facilitates the final arrangements for their release.
Some of the detainees are in critical health condition, putting additional pressure on all parties.
