Family, friends and supporters celebrated across Israel as three more hostages were released by Hamas.
The armed group handed Alexander Troufanov, Yair Horn and Sagui Dekel-Chen over to the Red Cross in Gaza in a carefully choreographed event on Saturday morning.
Crowds in Tel Aviv’s Hostage Square rejoiced as they watched a live broadcast of the release, while the freed hostages’ families and friends shed tears of joy at gatherings of their own.
This was Hamas’s sixth hostage release since the the ceasefire with Israel began in January. Israel is releasing 369 Palestinian prisoners on Saturday in return, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office.
