Third exchange of prisoners between Israel and Hamas will held today

WEB DESK: 110 Palestinian prisoners will release today under the Gaza ceasefire agreement include 32 prisoners of life imprisonment and 30 children.

According to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society, a total of 110 Palestinians are set to be released from Israeli prisons today. This release marks the third phase of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement between Israel and Hamas.

Most of the freed Palestinians are expected to arrive in the Radana area of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank at approximately 12pm local time (10:00 GMT), the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society said.

This will not include 20 prisoners who will be sent into exile outside Palestine. The prison advocacy group also published a list of the names and ages of the prisoners to be released, which included at least 30 children.

Among the names included on the list is Zakaria Zubeidi, 49, a prominent former Palestinian resistance fighter and theatre director whose dramatic jailbreak from an Israeli prison in 2021 thrilled Palestinians and stunned security officials in Israel.
