jubilant

Israel made clear before the release process that it wanted to avoid the jubilant scenes that surrounded prisoners arriving in Ramallah during previous hostage deals, when large crowds waved Hamas flags.

That is in contrast to some of the jubilant scenes elsewhere, such as Scotland fans after their 3-1 World Cup qualifier win over Greece.

Thousands of jubilant Israelis gathered in a Tel Aviv square Thursday, hopeful for the return of hostages held in Gaza, after two years of fear and worry.

Chants of "two more years" - from both his celebrating players and jubilant fans - echoed around the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club.

Inside parliament, there were jubilant scenes as hundreds of protesters danced and chanted slogans around a fire at the entrance to the building, many holding Nepal's flag.
