Thirty Palestinians, all women and minors detained in Israeli prisons, were released on the night of Thursday to Friday in application of the Truce agreement between Hamas and Israel.
These prisoners were released a few hours before the expected expiration of the Truce, after the release earlier by Hamas of ten Israeli hostages selected in the Gaza Strip.
Qatar, the main mediator of the Truce, announced earlier that the Palestinian prisoners having to be released were 23 minors and seven women.
Since its entry into force on November 24, the Truce agreement between Israel and Hamas has already released 110 hostages, including 80 women, children and young people under the age of 19, Israeli or binational. In exchange, 240 Palestinian prisoners were released.
In addition, around thirty foreigners, mostly Thai people working in Israel, were released outside the framework of this agreement.
The Truce between Israel and Hamas entered into force on November 24 in the Gaza Strip expired this Friday, December 1, 2023 at dawn.
