Four female hostages who were held by Hamas in Gaza have returned to Israel
Gunmen and crowds gathered in Palestine Square in Gaza City as the hostages were released to the Red Cross in a heavily staged handover
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 is set to release 200 Palestinian prisoners in return, 70 of whom are expected to be deported
Hamas is expected to provide more information about the remaining 26 hostages due to be released in the coming weeks
Israeli soldiers are also scheduled to withdraw from key positions in Gaza, allowing more displaced Palestinians to return north.
