Soldiers disrupted a Jerusalem gathering to mark the early release of an imprisoned Palestinian, arresting his brother and roughing up his father. A Times reporter conducting interviews was also assaulted.

The female Israeli hostages who were freed on Saturday disobeyed their Hamas captors and made victory poses during the hand-off ceremony to spoil the terrorists’ photo-op, one of their fathers revealed.

The hostages are the second set to be released since the multiphase agreement came into effect, raising hopes for a lasting end to the war.
