All 20 surviving hostages have been freed, following a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
A key term of the deal was the release of nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, which has begun with busloads of prisoners being unloaded in Ramallah, in the West Bank.
President Donald Trump stated that this marks "not only the end of a war" but also "the end of the age of terror and death,"
Hamas is still searching for the remains of dead hostages, and it is unclear what will happen if they cannot fully satisfy the terms of the deal.
