Good evening. I'm John Yang. Jubilation in both Israel and Gaza today as hostages and Palestinian

prisoners were freed in the latest advance for the fragile Israeli Hamas seed spire. In Gaza City,

there was a highly choreographed transfer of four young female Israeli soldiers from their Hamas captors to the Red Cross.

Later at a hospital in Israel,

they were reunited with families. There were similar reunions in Gaza and the West Bank for

200 freed Palestinian prisoners. 15 months of war meant many had no homes to return to.

A threat to the truce arose today when Hamas didn't release a female civilian hostage

said it would.

In response, Israel said it would not allow displaced residents to return to northern Gaza as it had agreed to.

Meanwhile, on Israel's northern front, Israel said it would keep troops in Lebanon beyond this weekend's

deadline to withdraw as part of the

sea spire with Hezbollah. They said Hezbollah and Lebanon haven't kept their end to the deal.

Special correspondent Simona Fultein is in Lebanon.

In the ruins of Nabatia, Hezbollah's flag still flies high.

Despite the devastation in Lebanon's south, the war with Israel is considered a victory.

Bread and high fives are distributed to celebrate and to honor the sacrifice.

Abbas is an ardent supporter of Hezbollah, the resistance, as it's called here.

He's holding a picture of the group's late leader, Hassan Nasrallah, killed in an Israeli

strike last September.

The damage will be compensated.

We lost the person that's your twist, Saeed Hassan Nasrallah.

That's the main loss.
