This event marks the first stage of a prisoner exchange deal where 183 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel will be freed in return for the hostages. The release comes after a period of tense negotiations and accusations of ceasefire breaches by both sides.

Mr Levy, 34, fled the Nova festival near Israel’s southern border with his wife, Eynav, when militants attacked the event.
