Thousands of Palestinians have returned to North Gaza after Israel and Hamas reached an agreement to release six hostages this week.
The Palestinians are due to return over the weekend, but the Israeli hostage held by Arbel Yehud has been detained continuously.
Hamas released four soldiers but no civilians on Saturday – leading Israel to accuse Hamas of violating the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
Yehud and two other hostages are now due to be released on Thursday.
