Following a ceasefire deal that ended 15 months of conflict in Gaza, three Israeli hostages have been reunited with their families while 90 Palestinian prisoners were released in return.
The Israeli hostages were joyfully welcomed by their families in southern Israel after being handed over by armed gunmen to the Red Cross in Gaza.
All three hostages were reported to be in stable condition as they embraced their families and shed tears of relief, according to Sheba Medical Center.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his joy at their safe return, while Palestinian families celebrated the release of the 90 prisoners in Ramallah.
The prisoners freed by Israel were mainly from the West Bank and East Jerusalem, including a 15-year-old boy and two 17-year-olds, a boy and a girl.
