It takes the total number of Palestinians released since the start of the temporary ceasefire to 78.

One of those released, Mohammad dar-Darwish, 17, said he was " dizzy with happiness" to Return Home .

The Exchange was delayed after Hamas accused Israel of changing the agreed list of prisoners it would release.

Hamas also said that not enough aid shipments that had been guaranteed access to Gaza as part of The Deal had made it through. But the handover went ahead after last-minute mediation involving Qatar and Egypt.

Israel denied breaking the terms of the agreement, which entered its Third Day on Sunday.
