how to access an array of images in a laravel colloction

i have uploaded images stored in an array in my MySql database. but I don't know how to access the contents of the array in the laravel collection. all the code I tried are giving me error that the array is a string.

this is the query of the posts from the database below.

public function index()
{
    $posts = Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->paginate(10);
    return view('posts.index')->with('posts', $posts);
}

this is the blade template showing the posts

@if (count($posts) > 0)
        @foreach ($posts as $each_post)
            <div class=" shadow-md bg-white pb-3  rounded-md " >
                <div class="  ">
                        <a href="/posts/"><img src="/storage/images/" class=" w-full  object-fill  rounded-t-md h-44 md:h-48" alt=""></a>
                  
                        
         
                </div>
                <div class="p-2">
                    <h3 class=" text-sm md:text-lg text-gray-800 mb-2">
                        <a href="/posts/"></a>
                    </h3>
                     by </small> --}}
                    @if ($each_post->price > 0)
                        <small class=" text-green-500  text-xs md:text-base">   </small>
                    @else
                    <small class=" text-green-500 text-xs md:text-base"> free  </small>
                        
                    @endif
                    
                </div>
            </div>
    
            
        @endforeach
       
    </div>
        
    @else
        <p>No Posts</p>
    @endif

The $each_post->images is where the problem lies.

a dd($each_post) command displays this
