The Galaxy Leader, with the two Bulgarians on board, was captured in the Red Sea in late November 2023. The agreement between Israel and Hamas gave the green light to the operation to release them, with Hamas coordinating it.
Omani television footage showed the crew arriving in the Omani capital last night. The sailors appeared to be in good health.
