Protestors gather in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails in Jabalia

Palestinians demonstrate in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails in Jabalia on October 15, 2021.

Palestinian supporters of Hamas Islamist movement are seen wearing Guy Fawkes masks while attaching pictures of Israeli-held Palestinian prisoners to balloons during a mass rally in Jabalia refugee camp to mark the tenth anniversary of the Wafa al-Ahrar agreement, a prisoner exchange deal that took place between Hamas and Israel in 2011.

The agreement is considered one of the largest Arab-Israeli prisoner exchanges, as Israel released 1,027 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Hamas releasing the abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
