Israel says three hostages - who had been held by Hamas in Gaza for 15 months - are back in Israeli territory.
The hostages were released by Hamas to the Red Cross in Gaza City hours after a ceasefire began, before being handed to the Israeli military.
They have been confirmed as 31-year-old Doron Steinbrecher, dual British-Israeli Emily Damari, 28, and 24-year-old Romi Gonen.
Emily was seen with a bandaged hand, hugging her mother, in a video call shared with the BBC's Lucy Manning.
Hamas says for every hostage released, 30 Palestinian prisoners will be released from Israeli jails.
The long-awaited ceasefire in Gaza came into force after a last-minute delay, with displaced Palestinians beginning to return to the cities they fled.
In the hours the ceasefire was delayed, Israel continued hitting Gaza, killing 19 more people, according to the Hamas-run civil defence agency.
