The Palestinian movement Hamas released four female Israeli soldier hostages on Saturday, in return for some 200 Palestinian prisoners, in keeping with a ceasefire agreement aimed at ending the 15-month-old war in Gaza.
The four hostages were led onto a podium in Gaza City amid a large crowd of Palestinians and surrounded by dozens of armed Hamas men. They waved and smiled before being led off, entering ICRC vehicles and being transported to Israeli forces.
Hundreds of Israelis gathered at the so-called Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, crying, embracing and cheering as they watched the handover on a giant screen.

Dog takes revenge on car owner after getting hit
A dog's sweet 'tale' of revenge was captured on CCTV cameras after getting hit by a car in Madhya Pradesh, India.
Prahlad Singh Ghoshi was driving to a wedding when he accidentally struck a dog near his house. Luckily, the dog was unharmed and barked as it briefly chased the vehicle before disappearing.
At 1 am, Mr Ghoshi came home and parked his car outside his residence.
The following morning, Mr Ghoshi discovered scratches on his car and initially suspected local children to be responsible. However, upon reviewing the CCTV footage, he recognised that the same dog had caused the damage he had inadvertently hit earlier.
The CCTV footage shows the animal scratching the car with its paws, which was later joined briefly by another dog during the incident.
The cost to repair the scratches was approximately BD65. While the dog did not pose a threat to Mr Ghoshi or his family, they were still surprised to see the connection between the two incidents.
Minister honours expat family and Bahraini girl for their environmental initiatives
An expatriate family that went viral online for collecting rubbish from a beach in Bahrain, and a young Bahraini girl who shared her recycling initiative were recently honoured by the government.
Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Minister Wael Al Mubarak presented them with gifts and praised their sustainable work.
“Bahrain‘s community is highly aware and remarkably creative, and are constantly amazing me with their incredible initiatives driven by their love for the country and environment,” he said.
“The least we can do is to show our appreciation and offer them encouragement. We look forward to see more of these initiatives being carried out.”
