Freed Palestinian prisoners arrive in West Bank after Hamas releases three Israeli hostages

 A bus carrying freed Palestinian prisoners has arrived in the occupied West Bank, after being seen leaving Israel's Ofer prison

  • Large crowds surround the vehicle as officials are trying to exit the bus, which a Hamas-affiliated news agency says is carrying 25 of the 183 prisoners due to be released today 

    This comes after the earlier release of three Israeli hostages - Yarden Bibas, Ofer Kalderon and Keith Siegel - as part of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that began on 19 January

  • In Tel Aviv, BBC's Alice Cuddy says the orderly scenes at the releases this morning are a "stark contrast" to the chaotic handover on Thursday
