Palestinian prisoners released by Israel as part of a four-day truce with Hamas reached home as celebrations broke out in the West Bank.

A total of 39 prisoners were freed on day one of the truce, who reached home to a heroic welcome, with fireworks clouding the night sky and patriotic Palestinian music exalting the atmosphere.

Some of the prisoners were draped in Palestinian and Hamas flags.

"I have no words, I have no words," newly released 17-year-old Jamal Brahma was quoted as saying by Associated Press, as he searched for something to say to the hordes of jostling journalists and thousands of chanting Palestinians, many in national dress. "Thank God," he managed to utter.

Under the deal, Israel will release 150 Palestinian prisoners over the next four days. The truce can be extended an extra day, as per Israel's offer, for every 10 additional hostages released.

The prisoners, released by Israel on Friday, were accused of minor offences like chanting, clapping, hand-waving and screaming fenzy, AP reported.
