Hug of freedom: Hostages reunited with families as calls grow for extension to Israel-Hamas truce
The families of some of the kidnapped children released by Hamas after more than 50 days have spoken of their overwhelming “relief” — amid hopes the four-day ceasefire could be extended.
As talks to extend the truce deal were under way, more of the Gaza hostages were due to be released later on Monday.
The family of Israeli-American Avigail Idan, who was kidnapped by Hamas, described their joy at her safe release. Avigail was three when she was snatched, and turned four in captivity.
