Freed Gaza photographer overjoyed to find family alive after being told in Israeli jail they were dead

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip: Shadi Abu Sido said his world shattered in Israeli detention when guards told him his wife and two children had been killed in the Gaza war. “I got hysterical,” the Gaza Palestinian photographer said. It wasn’t until his release on Monday, part of the US-mediated ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel that halted two years of war, that he discovered his loved ones were alive. His wife, Hanaa Bahlul, raced down the hallway of his family’s house in Khan Younis and leapt into his arms. He spun her in the air as they clung to each other.
