‎Freed Palestinian prisoners and detainees have been released by Israel to be reunited with their families in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

‎The release involved about 250 prisoners who had been convicted of crimes including murder and deadly attacks against Israelis - and about 1,700 detainees from Gaza who had been held by Israel without charge.

‎They were freed as part of an exchange in which 20 Israeli hostages were released by Hamas, with the remains of some deceased hostages also expected to be released.
