STORYLINE:
Israeli-American freed hostage Edan Alexander landed in Tel Aviv Monday, after being held hostage for more than 19 months in the Gaza Strip.
The 19-year-old soldier was released by Hamas in a goodwill gesture toward the Trump administration and landed at Ichilov hospital in Tel Aviv on Monday evening.
The deal could lay the groundwork for a new ceasefire with Israel. The Israeli military confirmed that 21-year-old Edan Alexander was turned over to the Red Cross and then to Israeli forces.
His release was the first since Israel shattered an eight-week ceasefire with Hamas in March, unleashing fierce strikes on Gaza that have killed hundreds.
Meanwhile, an Israeli strike on a school-turned-shelter in the Gaza Strip killed about 16 people in the embattled enclave, mostly women and children.
