Israel releases 200 Palestinian prisoners

Freed hostages reunite with families

Four female hostages who were held by Hamas in Gaza have returned to Israel

The four women - who are the second group of hostages released since a ceasefire deal was agreed - are Israeli soldiers who were taken on 7 October

Israel has released 200 Palestinian prisoners in return, 70 of whom are expected to be deported

However, the Israeli government accuses Hamas of breaching the ceasefire deal by not releasing civilian hostage Arbel Yehud

In response, Israel has said displaced Palestinians will not yet be allowed to return to northern Gaza, as had been scheduled under the deal

Meanwhile, Hamas says Arbal Yehud is alive and will be freed next week
