Hamas brutally tortured male hostages for nearly 500 days holding them in conditions so barbaric they had to learn to walk again before their release.
The Palestinians were released on Saturday afternoon in exchange for three Israeli civilian hostages whose gaunt appearances caused widespread condemnation.
At least eight Palestinians were taken to hospital upon their release from Israeli jails during the fifth swap of captives for prisoners under the Gaza ceasefire deal.
In a video message shared on Instagram, Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg-Polin reacted to the release of civilians Eli Sharabi, 52; Or Levy, 34, and Ohad Ben Ami, 56.
