Israel's PM says freed Gaza hostages 'have been through hell'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the three hostages freed from Gaza on Sunday as part of a ceasefire deal had endured a horrific ordeal.

"I know, we all know, they have been through hell. They are emerging from darkness into light, from bondage to freedom," Netanyahu said during a phone call with an Israeli official who was briefing him on the release of the three female hostages.
