Freed hostage Evyatar David greeted by cheering crowds in Kfar Saba

Wrapped in an Israeli flag, released hostage Evyatar David arrives from the hospital to his home in Kfar Saba, where the street is crowded with neighbors and friends cheering his arrival.

Residents dance in the street, sing “Am Yisrael Chai,” and hold their cellphones up to capture the moment.

David and his family arrive in a van, accompanied by local police who try to clear the street so that the convoy can move forward.

David waves from inside the van, blowing kisses to the residents who attach balloons to the slow-moving van, and throw bouquets of flowers through the open windows.

David is escorted by police through the crowd to his family’s apartment building.

Minutes later, former prime minister Naftali Bennett arrives to greet David. The crowds remain outside, dancing and waving Israeli flags in the joyous block party.
