'Indescribable happiness' as detainees return to Gaza
Israel has released 1,968 prisoners and detainees as part of a ceasefire deal with Hamas. The release of the prisoners has been met with "indescribable happiness" by the people of Gaza. The deal was reached after 11 days of intense fighting between Israel and Hamas, which resulted in the deaths of at least 248 people in Gaza and 12 in Israel. The ceasefire, which came into effect on May 21, 2021, has brought an end to the violence and allowed for the release of the prisoners. This move is seen as a significant step towards reconciliation and the easing of tensions in the region.
