Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has released the remaining 13 Israeli captives and handed them over to the International Red Cross in Gaza.
Hamas on Monday began releasing living Israeli captives as part of a deal to end the war in Gaza and facilitate a prisoner exchange.
Earlier, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, handed over seven Israeli captives to the International Red Cross.
Israeli armed forces confirmed that they have received the remaining 13 captives released by Hamas.
Meanwhile, Israeli Television footage showed two buses believed to be carrying Palestinian abductees and Red Cross vehicles leaving Ofer prison.
The process of handover of Israeli captives for Palestinian prisoners is as part of a ceasefire agreement reached between the resistance movement Hamas and the Israeli regime.
About 2,000 Palestinian prisoners are set to be released in exchange for the Israeli captives in Gaza.
Among them are 1,700 Palestinians from Gaza. Another 250 prisoners are serving life or long sentences. Of those, 135 will be deported to Gaza or exiled abroad, 100 are expected to be sent to the occupied West Bank, and 15 will be released in occupied al-Quds.
