On Friday, 13 Israelis kidnapped by Hamas were finally returned to their loved ones in Israel.
The 13 women and children are part of the 50 hostages, out of a total of some 240 Israelis and foreign nationals kidnapped, expected to be released under the Qatari-led ceasefire agreement.
While the battle to bring them home is far from over, the emotional scenes of reunification are cause to celebrate.
