Tehran - BORNA - The process of handover of Israeli captives began in Gaza on Monday as part of a ceasefire agreement reached between the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas and the Israeli regime.
Hamas published a list of the living captives being freed, who had been held in Gaza since the beginning of the Israeli regime’s genocidal war on October 7, 2023.
In exchange for the captives, Israel will release 250 Palestinian prisoners and more than 1,700 detainees.
Buses carrying Palestinian prisoners began moving toward the Karem Abu Salem crossing, preparing for their release in the coming hours.
Hamas is reportedly set to free the second group of the Israeli captives at 10:00 a.m. The Palestinian detainees are scheduled to be released by the Israeli occupation at the same time.
The exchange is part of the first stage of a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, with US oversight. The deal was finalized during indirect negotiations held in Sharm El-Sheikh.
