Two buses carrying Palestinian prisoners released by Israel arrived in Ramallah, the West Bank, according to Palestinian sources.

According to eyewitnesses on Thursday, large crowds gathered to welcome them, chanting slogans and waving flags in celebration.

The families of the released detainees waited anxiously outside the reception area, with many breaking into tears when finally reuniting with their loved ones.

"This is a moment of both joy and pain," said Samah Abed, a relative of a prisoner, expressing relief at the release but frustration over the continued conflict between Israel and Hamas.
