Hostage Release: Buses Transport Palestinian Prisoners Under Landmark Deal

Buses carrying Palestinian prisoners departed this Saturday from Ofer Prison, located in the occupied West Bank, and Ktzi’ot Prison in southern Israel’s Negev region. This operation is part of a prisoner exchange deal between Israel and the Hamas movement.

The agreement, considered one of the most significant developments in prisoner exchanges, includes the release of 200 Palestinian detainees serving varying sentences in Israeli prisons in exchange for four Israeli female soldiers who were released by Hamas earlier today.

This operation is part of carefully coordinated arrangements overseen by both parties, drawing significant international and regional attention. The implications of this exchange are expected to have a profound impact on the political and humanitarian landscape of the region.
