0:23Now PlayingThree Israeli women held hostage by Hamas in Gaza have been freed and are now safely back in Israel.
Israel is freeing nearly 100 Palestinian detainees as part of the ceasefire agreement intended to end the war.
Hamas released the 3 Israeli women in a chaotic scene in Gaza City.
Masked Hamas gunmen drove a van carrying the women to a crowded square packed with Palestinians.
The women were handed over to the Red Cross, which in turn delivered them to the Israeli military. They were then whisked back to Israel.
Video footage from the IDF, showed the women, ages 24 to 31, were all able to walk but there was no word on their overall condition.
All three were seized by Hamas in the attack that ignited the war on Oct. 7, 2023.
One was taken at a music festival. The other two were taken at a kibbutz.
These exchanges of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners are set to carry on for weeks.
