This comes as Hamas is set to release 14 more hostages today in exchange for Palestinian prisoners after 24 captives including 13 Israeli women and children were released yesterday.

While father Yoni was happy to have his family back he was still concerned about those who are still being held in Gaza.

‘I am happy I received my family back. But I am not celebrating, I will not celebrate until the last of the hostages returns home,’ he said.

Other freed hostages are then also seen being reunited with and embracing family members. 

A heartbreaking video captured the moment a nine-year-old Israeli boy ran into his father arms after being reunited with his family. 

Ohad Munder, walked through the children’s hospital when an official points out his father several feet away.

The young boy then waved to his father, before sprinting down the corridor to into his open arms, before he is picked up and hugged, marking the end of his horrific ordeal being held hostage.

‘They shared experiences, we were up with them until late at might and it was interesting, upsetting and moving,’ said Livni.

Doctors have conducted preliminary examinations on the patients and are all in a good physical condition, a statement said.

Israeli prison authorities said they were preparing to release an additional 42 Palestinian detainees today, in line with the terms of the Qatari brokered accord agreed last week.

Under the truce – the first break in the seven-week war – 50 women and children held by Hamas are to be released in stages over four days in return for 150 Palestinian women and children who are among thousands of detainees in Israeli jails.

Hamas freed a total of 24 hostages on Friday – 13 Israelis, 10 Thai farm workers and a Filipino – and Israel later released 39 Palestinian women and teenagers from detention.
