Hamas anticipates the release of 90 Palestinian captives in exchange for the transfer of 3 Israeli hostages

In an official statement, the organization reported that the ages of the prisoners vary, spanning from 15 to 68 years old, and that their incarceration periods range from as recent as two months to as long as five years.

Hamas has announced the impending release of a total of 90 individuals, comprising 21 men and 69 women. Among those set for release are 22 individuals aged 18 years or younger. These prisoners were reportedly abducted from the occupied regions of the West Bank and al-Quds.

Among those involved is Khalida Jarrar, a prominent 61-year-old Palestinian politician and key figure within the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Hamas has reported that Jarrar, who was detained by Israeli forces in January 2024, has been subjected to several months of solitary confinement.

Zeina Barbar, who was detained by Israeli authorities from the occupied Old City of al-Quds in July 2024, is set to return home today. At 18 years old, Barbar is among the group of prisoners being released.

Israeli forces conducted a raid on the residence of Barbar’s family prior to her anticipated release on Saturday, cautioning the family against holding celebratory activities in light of her impending release.

Wilaa Tanaja, who was previously abducted from the West Bank city of Nablus, is scheduled for release today.

In a recent turn of events, Tanaja, who had previously been freed in a prisoner exchange last November, has reportedly been abducted once more.

Israel previously announced that 737 Palestinian prisoners would be released as part of the initial 42-day phase of the ceasefire.

Hamas has announced the handover of three Israeli captives to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

In an official statement, the Israeli military announced that the Red Cross has taken custody of three Israeli hostages and is currently transporting them to Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and Israeli Security Agency (ISA) personnel in the Gaza Strip.

The initial phase of the ceasefire agreement saw the release of three hostages—Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher—by the resistance group. They are the first of a total of 33 individuals anticipated to be freed as part of this arrangement.

According to the terms of the agreement, Hamas is set to release four captives on the seventh day following the commencement of the ceasefire. The remaining 26 captives are scheduled for release over the subsequent five-week period.

According to sources cited by CNN, alongside the 33 Israeli captives, foreign hostages, including American citizens, are anticipated to be released.
