NNA - Agence France-Presse reported that several buses carrying Palestinian detainees arrived in the Gaza Strip after the Israeli authorities released them as part of the sixth exchange within the framework of the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel. 

They were received by hundreds of their family members and relatives. 

Hamas said in a statement, "These moments in which we witness our heroic prisoners embracing freedom are a new step in our long march toward Jerusalem."
