How triple Israeli hostage release unfolded How triple Israeli hostage release unfolded

Three more Israeli hostages have returned to Israel after being released by Hamas.

Eli Sharabi, 52, Ohad Ben Ami, 56, and Or Levy, 34, were handed over to the Red-Cross in a highly-staged event in the Deir al-Balah area.

They were all taken captive during the 7 October attacks and have been held in Gaza for 16 months.

In exchange, Israel has begun to free some 180 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.

The releases are taking place as part of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas which came into force on 19 January.
