Nineteen months after Hamas terrorists paraglided into Israel and took 251 people hostage, the last American citizen in captivity has been transferred to the Red Cross, which reportedly never once checked on his well-being.

The entire town of Tenafly, New Jersey, was up before 6 a.m. to watch the Edan Alexander's release.

Among them was CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson.

Here's your feel-good video of the day: Alexander's mother getting to talk to her son on the phone for the first time in nearly 600 days.

So there are still hostages left alive. That's a good sign.
