A nurse at Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital says in a video statement that Nurit Cooper and Yocheved Lifshitz appear to be in good health after arriving at the Israeli medical center directly after their release from Hamas captivity in Gaza.
The two elderly women were both speaking and had an emotional reunion with their families, the nurse says.
The pair are resting before doctors perform more exhaustive tests to determine their exact medical condition.
Both of them were on medication that they likely were unable to receive during their over two weeks in captivity.
The nurse says the hospital will have a better understanding of their conditions in the morning.
