Thousands of Palestinians are returning to northern Gaza
Thousands of Palestinians are returning to northern Gaza after Israel and Hamas reached a deal this week to free six hostages.
The Palestinians were due to return over the weekend, but were held up by a dispute over an Israeli hostage held by Hamas, Arbel Yehud.
Hamas released four soldiers on Saturday, but not Yehud, a civilian – prompting Israel to accuse Hamas of violating the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
Yehud and two other hostages are now scheduled to be freed on Thursday.
