The names of 93 male and female Palestinian prisoners who will be released Sunday night, as part of a prisoner exchange on the first day of the Gaza ceasefire, have been published.
Israel and mediating nation Qatar confirmed on Sunday a long-awaited ceasefire in Gaza had come into effect following a delay of almost three hours as Israel awaited a list of three captives to be initially freed by Hamas.
According to the ceasefire plan, a total of 33 captives will be returned from Gaza during an initial 42-day truce.
In a statement, Hamas said the truce deal stipulated “the release of 30 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for one civilian detainee”, adding that the Palestinian prisoners expected for release Sunday would be drawn from a submitted list of 120 women and children (teenagers) in total.
Among those expected to be released is member of the Palestinian Legislative Council and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Khalida Jarrar.
