Loved ones celebrate the release of Hamas hostage Evyatar David

For 738 days, all they saw of Evyatar David were images of his torture in the bowels of Gaza, but today those who love him most finally saw a picture to make them smile. His release sparked a stampede at his best friends' home in Hod HaSharon near Tel Aviv where the Mail was invited to join over 30 of those who know him best gathered to watch his release.
