Jerusalem, Oct 18: Both Israelis and Palestinians rejoiced at the successful completion of round one of the swap deal in which 477 Palestinian prisoners were released for a lone Israeli soldier abducted by Gaza militants in a cross border raid more than five years ago.
As Israelis waited with bated breaths, glued to television, to see the first glimpse of Gilad Shalit, hundreds of Palestinians lined up to welcome their prisoners in Gaza and the west Bank.
“I could not hold my tears. I felt one of my own is coming back home. I woke up at 5 in the morning and have been glued to the television. Just wept uncontrollably at the first sight of Gilad”, said Na’ama Melisa, a mother of four young children, describing her feelings.
