Palestinian detainees continue to be warmly received in Khan Younis, Al Jazeera reports.

A number of elderly detainees are also among those released, including a 70-year-old man.

A few of the detainees look gaunt, others are stern as they step out of the bus, while some are smiling and flashing the victory sign. A number of the detainees have worn their shirts inside out in order to cover the messages put on their shirts by Israeli authorities.
