The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club says that Israel will free 602 prisoners from jails tomorrow as part of the ongoing hostage release-ceasefire deal with Hamas, APA reports citing The Times of Israel.
Amani Sarahneh, a spokeswoman for the NGO, tells AFP that those slated for release include 445 individuals from Gaza who were arrested after Hamas’s October 7 attack, 60 serving long sentences, 50 serving life sentences and 47 re-arrested after a 2011 exchange for captive IDF soldier Gilad Shalit.
Last night Hebrew media reported that seven of those who were slated to be released outside of Israel’s borders requested to instead remain in prison, and they were replaced with seven others from a list of those eligible.
