Footage released by the IDF shows the moment newly released hostage soldiers Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Albag crossed the border from the Gaza Strip back into Israel after 477 days in Hamas captivity.
The four were escorted by IDF special forces out of Gaza after they were handed over to them by the Red Cross.
