Hamas has handed over two of three Israeli hostages scheduled for release in Gaza today, after 484 days in captivity.
A short time ago, 54-year-old Ofer Kalderon and 35-year-old Yarden Bibas were presented to the Red Cross in Khan Younis, in the strip's south.
A third hostage, 65-year-old American Israeli Keith Siegel, is expected to be released shortly at the destroyed Port of Gaza.
The group will be taken to the Re'im military base in southern Israel, just over the border from Gaza, for an initial medical check and reunions with some immediate family members.
There are grave fears for Mr Bibas's wife Shiri and two young children, Ariel, 5, and Kfir, 2.
Israeli authorities fear the three are dead, and it is unclear if Mr Bibas has any knowledge of their welfare.
As with other handovers, Hamas paraded the hostages before waiting media.
But unlike the last release on Thursday, which featured chaotic scenes in Khan Younis as thousands of Palestinians gathered to witness the events and surged forward towards the Israeli hostages, the area was under tight control.
Banners were unfurled behind Mr Kalderon and Mr Bibas in Khan Younis, showing the faces of Hamas political leaders killed during the war with Israel in Gaza.
The return of the three hostages will trigger the release of 90 Palestinian prisoners and detainees in the coming hours.
