STORYLINE:
Dozens of released Palestinian prisoners arrived in the West Bank town of Beitunia on Wednesday night and were greeted by a raucous crowd of friends and family members.
The recently released prisoners made their way through the dense crowd, hugging and kissing their loved ones.
The prisoners were released from Ofer prison earlier in exchange for Hamas handing over four dead Israeli hostages.
The Israeli Prime MInister’s office confirmed it had received the bodies from the Red Cross.
Israel had delayed the release of over 600 Palestinian prisoners since Saturday to protest what it called the cruel treatment of hostages during their handover by Hamas.
The militant group has called the delay a “serious violation” of the ceasefire and said talks on a second phase aren’t possible until the Palestinians are freed.
