Hamas released four Israeli hostages in Gaza early Saturday in exchange for 200 Palestinian prisoners to be released later in the day. It was the second release to occur as part of the ceasefire agreement that began last weekend. Israel followed with the release of 200 Palestinian prisoners.
Israel was due to free 110 prisoners, including 30 minors, in exchange for the three Israelis released on Thursday, the Palestinian Prisoners' Club advocacy group said. It is the third hostage-prisoner exchange under a 19 January ceasefire deal aimed at ending the war in Gaza.
Thursday’s prisoner-for-hostage swap marked the third round of exchanges as a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas entered its second week.
One of those released was 19 years old. Twelve of them were 18, seven of them were 17 and one was 15. This list of prisoners was published by Al Jazeera, the Qatari-owned international news service. Al Jazeera describes the group as "69 women and 21 children."
