The first phase of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire began today, with three Hamas hostages exchanged for 90 Palestinian prisoners.

Emily Damari, Romi Gonen and Doron Steinbrecher were taken back to Israel by security forces after Hamas fighters handed them over to the Red Cross.  

UK correspondent Gail Downey says it's unclear whether the hostages will reveal the conditions of their capture at this stage.
