Israeli officials are awaiting word that Schalit has entered Israel, after which the buses will be allowed to cross into the West Bank and Gaza respectively.Upon passing into Israel, Schalit will be guarded by soldiers of the Israel Air Force's 669 unit, who will accompany him until he is home safe in Mitzpe Hila.
