Medical staff cheered on a freed 85-year-old hostage as she was released Tuesday from a hospital in the Israeli city of Holon.

Yaffa Adar was kidnapped by Hamas militants on October 7 and was released from captivity in the first group of hostages that the militant group freed under a truce deal with Israel.

Israel and Hamas are expected to carry out more exchanges of prisoners and hostages as a cease-fire extends into a fifth day Tuesday.
