Hugs and tears: How Israeli hostage return unfolded


Footage of the three freed hostages hugging relatives after their return to Israel, has been shared by the Israel Defense Forces.

The video shows the moment Doron Steinbrecher, British-Israeli Emily Damari, and Romi Gonen were handed to the Red Cross in Gaza City, as crowds gathered, chanting.

In exchange for each of these hostages, 30 Palestinian prisoners are supposed be released from Israeli jails; that means 90 Palestinians are expected to be freed soon.
