Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander has returned to Israel after being released by Hamas, the Israeli military says.
The 21-year-old was serving in an elite infantry unit on the border with Gaza when he was captured by Hamas during the October 7 attacks.
Of the 251 hostages, 59 remain in Gaza, up to 24 are believed to be alive. Israel says there will be a safe corridor in Gaza for Alexander's release but has not committed to a ceasefire.
Meanwhile, President Trump's visit to the Middle East begins tomorrow and he has called Alexander's release great news.
Hamas also says the release is intended to facilitate an aid deal.
