The Israel Defense Forces publishes photos and videos from today’s release of 13 Israeli hostages from Gaza, including a clip showing girl Emily Hand, 9, meeting her father Tom for the first time in 50 days and Hila Rotem, 13, being welcomed and embraced by her uncle.

In a breach of the agreement, the Hamas terror group released Rotem without her mother.
