Hostage soldiers Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Albag are handed over to the International Red Cross.
The four women are seen walking up on a stage set up by Hamas at a packed square in Gaza City ahead of their release.
All four are dressed in military-style uniforms and holding “gift bags” given to them by Hamas.
Looking in good physical health, they smile and wave from the stage during the brief, Hamas-run handover ceremony.
They are taken from the stage straight into the Red Cross vehicles.
