The office of Israeli Prime, Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has released a statement in Hebrew welcoming the return of the three hostages today.
It says the government is continuing to work with the US to secure the release of those still held in Gaza.
The statement also reiterates the claim that Hamas “tried to violate the agreement” this week, saying the group caused a “fake crisis with false claims”.
It says that it is thanks to Israel’s forces in and around the Gaza strip and US President, Donald Trump’s “clear and unequivocal statement” that hostage releases are continuing.
It ends by saying Israel is working with the US with the aim of getting all the hostages out of Gaza as quickly as possible.
