A prisoner freed from Israeli jail (L) and a freed Hamas hostage reuniting with loved ones Getty/APThe truce between Hamas and Israel ended on Friday morning – but the week-long ceasefire saw hundreds of prisoners and more than a hundred hostages set free. There has been footage circulating on social media of some of the freed hostages appearing to say an amicable goodbye to their Hamas captors, but there has been speculation about how authentic this footage is. The rest of the freed hostages have been kept away from the media since release, but some family members have spoken out. On Wednesday, the relatives claimed the freed hostages having spoken of being beaten and threatened with death. One person, Merav Mor Raviv, told Israel’s Channel 12 her family members were moved from place to place, both underground and above ground, and lost weight because food was sometimes scarce.
