Vehicles transporting freed Palestinian detainees depart Ktziot prison

A bus carrying a group of Palestinian prisoners released Saturday by Israel under the Gaza ceasefire deal arrived to a cheering crowd in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah.

 Wearing traditional keffiyeh scarves, the freed prisoners were hoisted on the crowd's shoulders and hugged relatives before heading to a quick health checkup. Many in the crowd waved the yellow flags of the Palestinian Authority's Fatah party, while one prisoner kissed a baby as soon as he stepped off the bus. The Palestinian Prisoners' Club advocacy group had said Israel was to release 369 inmates in the latest exchange.
