Pictures of released Israeli hostages Ofer Kalderon, Keith Siegel, and Yarden Bibas were displayed at 'Hostages Square' in Tel Aviv as they were handed over to the Red Cross by Gaza militants. Onlookers expressed relief and emotions ran high as the hostages were reunited with their families after months in captivity. The ceremonies staged by Hamas and Islamic Jihad for the hostage handovers have been criticized in Israel, with many expressing concern about the deal that led to the release of the hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The fate of Yarden Bibas' wife and sons, who were reportedly killed in an Israeli air strike, remains unknown.
