183 Palestinian prisoners to be freed in exchange for three Israelis

GAZA, Feb. 08 (YPA) – The Israeli occupation army is set to release 183 Palestinian prisoners on Saturday to fulfill its side of the agreement in exchange for the release of three Zionist prisoners held by Hamas, as part of the fifth round of the first phase of the prisoner exchange deal in Gaza.

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Information Office explained that the Israeli occupation will release 18 prisoners with life sentences, 54 prisoners with long sentences, and 111 detainees from the Gaza Strip who were detained after October 7, 2023.

The Prisoners’ Information Office also indicated that the announcement of the release of these prisoners came after the Palestinian Resistance handed over the names of the Israeli captives who will be released in this batch of exchange.

This comes a few hours after the military spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, announced the names of the Israeli captives that the Brigades decided to release as per the deal in an X post.

The Israeli captives are: Eliyahu Datsun Yosef Sharabi, Or Avraham Lisha Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami.
