Watch: Crowds gather to welcome freed Palestinians prisoners

Israel released 369 Palestinian prisoners on Saturday, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office.

This comes after Hamas released three more hostages, marking its sixth hostage release since the the ceasefire with Israel began in January.

Loved ones were seen hugging freed prisoners as they arrived in Khan Younis in buses and Palestinian prisoners were hoisted on people’s shoulders as they disembarked buses following their release.
