477 Days in Captivity: Hamas Returns Four Israeli Women

Hamas has released four Israeli hostages in exchange for 200 prisoners, reports NewsBox. 

The Israeli army confirmed the release of another four women who were held by Hamas. Under the agreement signed on January 17, the terrorist organization handed over to Israel the military personnel: Karina Ariev, Daniela Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Elbag.

The women were brought to the exchange site wearing military uniforms to emphasize the "legitimacy" of their capture. Having spent 477 days in captivity, the women will undergo medical examinations at a military hospital before reuniting with their families.

In return for their release, Israel fulfilled the agreement by releasing 200 prisoners linked to Hamas. The deal was part of complex negotiations between the parties aimed at resolving the conflict.
