RAMALLAH/CAIRO (Reuters): Joyous Palestinians rushed to embrace prisoners freed under a US-brokered ceasefire agreement as they arrived by bus in the occupied West Bank and Gaza on Monday (Oct 13).
The prisoners were released after Hamas freed the last 20 living hostages taken during the Oct 7, 2023 attacks that precipitated the war in Gaza.
