Israel released 33 Palestinian prisoners held in prison in accordance with the agreement reached with Hamas.
Among the released prisoners, those living in the occupied West Bank left the Israeli Ofer Military Prison on a bus belonging to the International Red Cross Organization and went to Ramallah.
Israeli soldiers intervened with tear gas and live bullets against those gathered in the town of Beitunya to welcome Palestinian prisoners.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that a Palestinian was killed as a result of fire opened by Israeli soldiers.
RAID ON THE HOUSE OF PALESTINE POWERS
Child captives living in East Jerusalem were also handed over to their families by Israeli police. Israeli police deployed around the houses of released Palestinian prisoners in East Jerusalem and set up checkpoints on the roads.
Israeli police, who raided the homes of some Palestinian prisoners, warned the families “not to hold any celebrations or gather at home.”
When 16-year-old Palestinian captive girl Nüfuz Hammad, a resident of East Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah District, returned home after being detained in Israeli prison for nearly 2 years, her family could not hold back their tears of joy.
Hammad, who was sentenced to 12 years in prison for allegedly attempting to stab a Jewish settler in occupied East Jerusalem, did not accept the accusation against him.
150 PALESTINE WOMEN AND CHILDREN POWERS WERE RELEASED
Within the scope of the agreement reached between Hamas and Israel, 50 Israeli women and children prisoners were released from the Gaza Strip and 150 Palestinian women and children prisoners were released from Israeli prisons.
