After the release of three more Israeli hostages from the Gaza Strip, the men have returned to their homeland.
The Israeli military transported them across the border, it said, adding that they are now on their way to a military facility in the south of Israel, where they are expected to reunite with their families.
The Palestinian militant organizations Hamas and Islamic Jihad had shortly before handed the three over to Red Cross representatives in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip.
