The Israeli government has released a total of 183 Palestinians, 18 of whom were sentenced to life imprisonment, 54 to long-term prison terms, and 111 of whom were arrested after October 7, 2023, from Ofer Prison in the West Bank as part of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
The 32 Palestinians who were taken to Ramallah and were greeted enthusiastically by other Palestinians were seen to be in bad health.
“The good physical and psychological condition of enemy prisoners proves the values of our resistance and our moral commitment to the prisoners. However, the brutal occupiers (Israel) are committing the most heinous violations against our prisoners in prisons,” said Hamas.
The other Palestinians who were released will be sent to Gaza or deported.
Israel is expected to release a total of 183 Palestinians in the coming hours.
