Hamas released the last 20 living hostages from Gaza to Israel on Monday, over two years after the war broke out in response to the terrorist group’s Oct. 7 attack on the Jewish state.
As the remaining hostages, all men under 50 years old, were transported back to their native country, their families greeted them upon their long-overdue return.
