Twenty-five Egyptians freed by Israel in a swap have crossed into their home country, in exchange for the release of Israeli-American Ilan Grapel.

Mr Grapel boarded a flight from Cairo to Tel Aviv and is expected to arrive later on Thursday.

The 27-year-old has been held by Egypt since June after being accused of spying for Israel.

Israel and his family deny the claims against Mr Grapel, saying he was working for a charity in Cairo.


Egyptian state television showed some of the Egyptians bowing down in prayer as they arrived on home soil, after passing through the Taba border crossing.

Three minors were the first to cross, according to the Associated Press news agency.

Interviewed by Egyptian television, two of them said they had been arrested after illegally crossing into Israel to sell contraband cigarettes.
