Thousands of Palestinians return to north Gaza


Thousands of Palestinians are returning to north Gaza after Israel and Hamas reached a deal to free six hostages this week.

The Palestinians were due to return over the weekend, but were held up by a row over an Israeli hostage held by Hamas, Arbel Yehud.

Hamas released four soldiers on Saturday, but not Yehud, a civilian – leading Israel to accuse Hamas of breaching the Gaza ceasefire deal.

Yehud and two other hostages are now due to be freed on Thursday.
