Crowds of cheering families and supports greeted the prisoners as they were returned. Israel had delayed the release of over 600 Palestinian prisoners since Saturday to protest what it called cruel treatment of hostages during their handover by Hamas. Friends and family greeted the released prisoners, hugging them and snapping photos. One released man made a victory sign as he was carried on the shoulders of supporters, with the crowd chanting “God is Great.” The released prisoners wore Israeli Prison Service T-shirts that some of them took off and set on fire. Hours later, buses carrying hundreds of other Palestinian prisoners arrived in the Gaza city of Khan Younis, with some men kissing the ground as they emerged from the buses. https://www.wthr.com/article/news/nation-world/israel-hamas-conflict/hamas-israel-hostages-prisoners-swap/507-198ba52e-cb52-483a-9d59-eb19a38b8e87
