The Israeli-occupied West Bank has erupted in celebrations after 90 Palestinian prisoners, most of them women, were released from Israeli jails as part of an Israel-Hamas ceasefire.

Families in the West Bank waited until early on Monday to receive their loved ones, most of whom had been detained without charge.
