After 476 days, the second phase of the first stage of a ceasefire sees the imminent release of four Israeli women soldiers held hostage in Gaza. Live images from Palestine Square in Gaza show Red Cross vehicles on standby for the handover from Hamas, which will then transport the hostages to the Israeli forces. Crowds have gathered in Hostage Square, Tel Aviv, to witness this significant moment. The release comes with complex exchanges, including the freeing of 200 Palestinian prisoners by Israel.
