Four Israeli soldiers held by Hamas have been released and 200 Palestinian prisoners have been freed as part of a ceasefire deal that has brought an end to 15 months of brutal fighting in Gaza.
Hostages Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, all aged 20, and 19-year-old Liri Albag, were all serving with the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) when they were captured on October 7 2023.
Surrounded by armed Hamas fighters on Saturday morning, the women waved and smiled as they were led on to a podium in Gaza City before being guided to Red Cross vehicles waiting to take them to a border point to be handed to the IDF.
