Hamas has released Avera Mengistu, the longest-held Israeli captive, as part of an ongoing ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
Mengistu, an Israeli-Ethiopian citizen, had been held in Gaza since 2014 after crossing into the territory.
His family celebrated his long-awaited release, and emotional footage shows him reuniting with loved ones near the Gaza border.
The exchange is part of a hostage-prisoner swap, but the future of the ceasefire agreement remains uncertain.
Watch the heartwarming moment of Mengistuâs return!

In a devastating escalation, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have launched a full-scale assault on Deir al-Balah â the last standing city in Gaza â attacking by land, sea, and air. Medical sources report at least 65 Palestinians killed, including women and children, as residential areas, mosques, and shelters were struck.
This latest offensive follows a forced evacuation order from the Israeli military, which triggered a mass exodus of civilians already displaced by previous bombardments. Humanitarian agencies warn the situation is now âcatastrophic,â with nowhere left to flee and growing fears of famine and mass civilian casualties.
We bring you the latest updates from the ground, as well as international reactions and the voices of those calling for an immediate ceasefire.

Local demonstratorsâestimated at around 150â200âraised Palestinian flags, chanted slogans, and formed a human barrier, prompting Greek authorities and the cruise line to halt disembarkation out of concern for passenger safety.

An Israeli soldier, Staff Sgt. Amit Cohen, 19, from the Golani Brigadeâs 13th Battalion, was killed in southern Gaza as IDF forces pushed deeper into Khan Younis. A preliminary probe revealed Cohen died from an Israeli munitions blast, highlighting the dangers of the ongoing ground offensive. Hamasâs military wing continues targeted attacks, vowing an attrition war if Israeli tanks advance further.
