Before the handover, a crowd of Palestinians, including masked fighters from Hamas and Islamic Jihad, gathered in the square. Representatives from the Red Cross and a Hamas fighter were seen signing documents ahead of the release.

Hamas identified the freed soldiers as Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Albag. Dressed in Israeli military uniforms, they waved to the assembled crowd during their release.

Al Jazeera’s Ibrahim Al Khaliji described the scene as a “historic moment.” Later, the Israeli army confirmed their safe return, stating the soldiers were undergoing medical evaluations under military supervision.
