Prime Minister Netanyahu will be accompanied by National Security Council Director Tzachi Hanegbi and his Military Secretary, Maj.-Gen. Avi Gil. Defense Minister Gallant will be accompanied by his Military Secretary, Brig.-Gen. Guy Markizano and the head of his staff, Shachar Katz.
The hostages will receive noise-canceling headphones especially purchased for them which are suitable for children in order to make the anticipated helicopter ride back into Israel more pleasant and to make them feel more calm and secure. Each helicopter will be equipped with a medical team from the IDF's pararescue unit, Unit 669, which will include an officer, three combat soldiers, and two doctors. The hostages will also be welcomed by representatives of the IDF Manpower Directorate, who have accompanied them throughout the ordeal.
