Palestinian prisoners are being released from Israeli Ofer prison today as part of the Hamas-Israel ceasefire deal. The release comes after four Israeli soldiers were captured by Hamas during a raid on southern Israel on October 7.
The four women, Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Albag, were in the early stages of their military service with the IDF when they were taken hostage. The Hamas spokesman for the Izzeldeen al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida, announced their names as the hostages to be released under the ceasefire agreement.
The families of the women and supporters await their loved ones’ return as they are released from prison. Live coverage from the West Bank side of Ofer prison shows the anticipation and emotions running high as the prisoners are set to be reunited with their families in Ramallah.
The ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel marks a significant step towards peace in the region, with the release of Palestinian prisoners being a key component. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
