Israeli enemy authorities released the fifth batch of Palestinian prisoners on Saturday, in accordance with the Gaza ceasefire agreement. The release involves 183 prisoners, as reported by the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society and the Palestinian Authority’s Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission.
The released prisoners include 18 individuals serving life sentences, 54 others with long-term sentences, and 111 detainees from Gaza detained after October 7, 2023. According to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society, 42 of the prisoners released are from the West Bank, 3 from Jerusalem, and 27 from Gaza.
Additionally, seven prisoners serving life sentences were deported outside of Palestine, including Ahmed Atiyah Jaafari, Abdel Azim Hassan, Imad Abu Ajamiya, Falah Shehada, Montaser Abu Ghalion, Mansour Abu Aoun, and Youssef Iskafi.
As the release occurred, Israeli enemy forces turned the area near Ofer Prison, west of Ramallah, into a military zone, blocking families from gathering to welcome their loved ones and firing live ammunition and tear gas at them.
