Palestinian media reported on Saturday that Israeli occupation forces lit up buildings surrounding Ofer prison, west of Ramallah in the West Bank, with the phrase "Our eyes are on you."
Earlier today, the head of the Higher Committee for Monitoring the Affairs of Palestinian Prisoners and Freed Prisoners, Amin Shoman, said that the Red Cross informed them that the Israeli occupation had postponed the release of the seventh batch of prisoners as part of the exchange deal until 8 pm Jerusalem time.
After the announcement of the postponement of the release, the families of the prisoners who were scheduled to be released left the Ramallah Cultural Palace, where they were supposed to be received.
Israel announced today, Saturday, the release of 602 Palestinian prisoners as part of the seventh batch of the exchange deal, including 445 from the Gaza Strip who were arrested after October 7, 2023, 50 with life sentences, 60 with long sentences, and 47 prisoners from the "Wafa al-Ahrar" prisoners who were re-arrested.
The names of the Palestinian prisoners released today also include 3 journalists: Khader Abdel Aal, Baha El-Din Al-Ghoul, and Muhammad Qaoud Hamza Radwan.
The first phase of the three-stage ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which went into effect on January 19, included the release of prisoners who had been freed in 2011 under the Gilad Shalit deal, known as the “Wafa al-Ahrar deal,” before Israel re-arrested them after 2014.
