Footage released by the IDF shows the moment former hostages Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher crossed the border from the Gaza Strip back into Israel after 471 days in Hamas captivity.

The three hostages were escorted by IDF special forces out of Gaza, after they were handed over by the Red Cross.
