Israel freed almost 2,000 Palestinians from its jails on Monday as part of a Gaza ceasefire deal, prompting emotional scenes of families reunited with loved ones, some of whom had spent decades behind bars.

Hamas released all 20 remaining living hostages on Monday as part of a ceasefire pausing two years of war that pummeled the Gaza Strip, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians.

Red Cross vehicles were seen in Khan Younis and are expected to pick up Palestinian prisoners that the Israelis will release Monday morning. Hamas published a list of the 20 living Israeli hostages set to be released around 7 a.m. local time, Monday morning.
