Briefing
Buses carrying freed Palestinian prisoners  arrive in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip after  being released from Israeli  jails
A large crowd gathered to welcome the freed prisoners,  after Israel confirmed  that all 183 people due to be  released today  had been  released.
Meanwhile, the Rafah crossing - the  only crossing between Egypt and the Gaza  Strip - reopened after eight months,  after the first group of wounded Palestinians  were evacuated to  Egypt.
This follows the earlier release of three Israeli hostages - Yarden Bibas, Ofer  Calderon and Keith Siegel - as part of the ceasefire  agreement between Israel and Hamas that began on  January 19.
In Tel Aviv,  the BBC's Alice Cuddy  said the orderly scenes  in this morning's releases  were a "stark contrast" to  Thursday's chaotic  delivery.
