Crowds come out to welcome Danielle Aloni and her five-year-old daughter Emilia as they come home after they were held hostage in the Gaza Strip for 49 days.

People line the street, waving Israeli flags and cheering, while a sound system blasts out the song “I’m coming home” as the convoy approaches.

The two were released Friday as part of the first group of hostages freed by the Hamas terror group.

They were visiting Danielle’s sister and her family at Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7 when they were kidnapped during the onslaught.

That family, Sharon Aloni Cunio, 33, and her husband David Cunio, 34, and their twin three-year-old daughters, Yuli and Emma, are still held hostage in Gaza.
