Hamas releases four Israeli soldiers in exchange for 200 Palestinian prisoners

This is the second exchange since a ceasefire began last weekend, pausing the fighting in Gaza for at least six weeks.

Hamas released four Israeli female soldiers to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on Saturday, while Israel followed by releasing 200 Palestinian prisoners as part of a ceasefire deal.
Three buses carrying 114 Palestinian prisoners arrived in Ramallah, where crowds of Palestinians lined the streets to welcome. As prisoners alighted from the bus, many were carried over shoulders as people erupted in joy. The Palestinian Prisoners Club said that among those released were Mohammed al-Tous, 69, who has spent the longest continuous period in Israeli detention, and Mohammad Arda, one of the six prisoners who briefly escaped from the high-security Gilboa prison in 2021. “We leave our jail but the price is high for our freedom. I’m thinking about the families of the inmates we lost during the past year and a half,” Adra told reporters. Meanwhile, 16 prisoners have been transferred to the Gaza Strip, while 70 others - including Palestinians serving life sentences and long-term prison terms - have been released into Egypt, according to state-run Al Qahera News.
