After the release of the last 20 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza on Monday, families are experiencing emotional reunions filled with joy, as captured in numerous photos and videos.

The former hostages have returned to Israel, where they are scheduled for medical evaluations following their 738-day imprisonment. This release forms a critical component of a broader agreement designed to conclude a two-year-long conflict.

Among those freed was Guy Gilboa-Dalal. Upon his initial reunion with his family, they enthusiastically embraced him, practically clinging to him as they moved to another room, before capturing a memorable photo together.

Israeli twins Gali and Ziv Berman, aged 28, also reunited with smiles when handed over to the IDF, finally meeting face to face after being reportedly held separately since their capture from Kfar Aza.
