Three hostages - who had been held by Hamas in Gaza for 15 months - are back in Israeli territory.

The released women - Doron Steinbrecher, Emily Damari, and Romi Gonen - are being treated in a Tel Aviv hospital, and are in a stable condition.

Hamas has said for every hostage released, 30 Palestinian prisoners will be released from Israeli jails - it means 90 Palestinians are expected to be released soon.

The long-awaited ceasefire in Gaza came into force after a last-minute delay, but joy faded as Palestinians returned to their destroyed homes.
