Four female hostages who were held by Hamas in Gaza have returned to Israel.
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.
However, the Israeli government accused Hamas of breaching the ceasefire deal by not releasing civilian hostage Arbel Yehud.
In response, Israel said displaced Palestinians will not yet be allowed to return to northern Gaza, as had been scheduled under the deal.
Meanwhile, Hamas is expected to provide more information about the remaining 26 hostages due to be released in the coming weeks.
