Israel freed nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners after Hamas released the last 20 Israeli hostages, ending a key phase of the Gaza ceasefire.
Israel released nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners under a Gaza ceasefire deal, with 154 transferred to Egypt and then to third countries, while the rest returned to the West Bank, Gaza, or East Jerusalem.
The release, part of a prisoner-hostage exchange, followed Hamas handing over the last 20 surviving Israeli hostages.
Celebrations erupted in Palestinian communities, despite Israeli warnings and security forces using tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds.
Many freed detainees were held without charge or trial during the conflict, some appearing severely weakened.
The deal leaves about 1,300 Gazans still detained, according to rights groups, and allegations of abuse in Israeli detention persist, though Israel maintains legal standards are upheld.
