Hamas and the Israeli occupation begin prisoner exchange procedures on the first day of the truce

Israeli media reported on Sunday that the process of transferring the three Israeli detainees held by Hamas to the Red Cross has already begun.


An official involved in the operation carried out by the International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza told Reuters on Sunday that a team from the organization was on its way to receive Israeli hostages from Hamas.


Hamas will release three Israeli female prisoners it had captured on October 7, 2023, during its attack on southern Israel on the first day of the ceasefire agreement.


Hamas also said that the Palestinian detainees who will be released as part of the exchange deal have arrived at Ofer prison in preparation for their release.


The movement said earlier today that Israel is expected to hand over a list of 90 names of Palestinian prisoners expected to be released on the first day of the agreement. The agreement stipulates the release of 30 Palestinian prisoners for each hostage held by Hamas.
