Six freed Israeli hostages reunited with their families after they were released by Hamas as part of the ceasefire agreement.

“Israeli citizens embrace the six returnees who returned to Israel today,” the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.

In exchange for these hostages, Israel was expected to release hundreds of Palestinians from its prisons, but delayed the release of the prisoners until further notice, a source confirmed to ABC News. The decision is reportedly in response to the delayed return of Shiri Bibas’s body and the deaths of her and her two young children shortly after their kidnapping.
