The Times of Israel reports this morning that during the first phase of the ceasefire, Israel is expected to be releasing a total of 1,904 Palestinian prisoners. They include 737 detainees and security prisoners. Israel will also be releasing 1,167 Palestinians detained in the Gaza Strip during the IDF’s ground offensive, who did not participate in the October 7, 2023, onslaught.
On Sunday, Jan. 19, the first three female hostages from the list of 33 humanitarian cases—a category made up of women, children, elderly individuals, and the infirm—are set to be released.
