Palestinian prisoners freed in West Bank as part of Gaza ceasefire
Some of the nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees freed by Israel as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal on Monday (Oct 13) began arriving in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
They arrived by bus in West Bank, from Ofer military prison in the Israel-occupied Palestinian territories.
Ahead of their release, people gathered to watch from a hilltop near Ofer military prison between Ramallah and Beitunia in the occupied West Bank.
The initial stage of the Gaza ceasefire deal includes the release of 47 Israeli living and dead hostages taken on Oct 7, 2023 in exchange for 250 prisoners and 1,700 Gazans held by Israel since the war broke out.
