Seven Israeli hostages were handed over to the Red Cross on Monday morning, marking the first release under a Gaza ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. The hostages—Eitan Mor, Gali and Ziv Berman, Matan Angrist, Omri Miran, Guy Gilboa Dalal, and Alon Ahel—will return home after two years. In exchange, Israel will free over 1,900 Palestinian prisoners. Crowds gathered in Tel Aviv and across the country, cheering the news. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife prepared welcome notes and kits for the hostages. Authorities also plan to return the bodies of slain captives. (PC: India Today)
