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 Mengistu’s return!

Israel has firmly rejected a proposed five-year ceasefire with Hamas, calling it a cover for the group to rearm. The Arab-mediated proposal, backed by Egypt and Qatar, reportedly included the release of Israeli hostages. But Israeli officials insist Hamas’ long-term intentions remain hostile. Hostage families criticized the government’s stance, calling it planless. With Israel resuming attacks on Gaza, the humanitarian crisis deepens. Over 51,000 Palestinians have died since October 7. As the war escalates, hopes for peace remain elusive amid growing international concern over Gaza’s worsening conditions.
