THIS is the moment Hamas thugs handed over terrified women and children after holding them captive for 48 days.
The hostages stared into space as the fighters freed them from their grips - leading them from blacked-out vans to Red Cross 4x4s.

Eight hostages - three mothers, a grandmother and four children - had been raced to hospital in the hours after they were freed.
Medics said however that they were in "good condition".
A young boy, nine-year-old Ohad Munder, could be seen being led towards Red Cross medical staff.
He was freed alongside 12 others - some of whom had to be held as they tried to walk to freedom.
The women and children were released after being held hostage for nearly 50 days, and will soon be reunited with their families.
The boy's family had pleaded for him to be released in mid-October as they feared he would spend his ninth birthday in the Hamas' grips.
Devastatingly, football-loving Ohad did just that.
The youngster's mum, Keren Munder, 54, could be seen following closely behind him today.
More women and children also escaped kidnap hell today - were caught on video looking frightened as they clambered between the vehicles.
The group of nine women and four young children are now back in Israel after being escorted out of Gaza to the Rafah border by the Red Cross.
