Released with her mother and little sister after almost 50 days in captivity in Gaza, four-year-old Raz Asher sits in her father’s arms on a hospital bed in Israel, Reuters reports.

“I dreamt we came home,” she tells her father, Yoni. “Now the dream came true,” he replied.

“We’ll be going home soon,” Yoni told Raz in the footage released by Schneider Children’s Medical Centre, the hospital treating the children, who are all in relatively good condition, its staff said.

Raz was released with her two-year-old sister, Aviv and mother Doron on Friday, in the first stage of the Israel-Hamas hostage deal that is set to see another 14 hostages, women and children, released today.
