Join our correspondent, Oriel Moran, reporting from Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, where crowds have gathered despite the rain to welcome the return of six hostages. Four were abducted on October 7, while two had been held captive for over a decade. Survivors have described the harrowing conditions they faced—starvation, torture, and isolation.

This release comes after the return of four hostage bodies, including Shiri Bibas and her two young children. The process has been fraught with complications, including delays and a shocking mistake in which a Gazan woman was returned instead of one of the hostages.

While emotions run high, Israelis remain united in their commitment to bringing all hostages home.
