Shlomi Ziv (41), who was rescued from Gaza in a brave IDF mission in early June, returned to his home in Moshav Elkosh on Tuesday.
People lined the streets, waved flags, held signs, and cheered his homecoming.
Along with Shlomi Ziv, three other hostages Noa Argamani (25), Almog Meir Jan (21) and Andrey Kozlov (27) were rescued by special unit Yamam forces.
