Exchange of Prisoners Marks Peace Deal Between Hamas and Israel

In a landmark agreement, Hamas has set free all Israeli hostages who were alive, alongside returning the bodies of four who perished during captivity. This release is part of a large-scale prisoner swap.

The terms of the exchange include the liberation of 250 Palestinian inmates, all of whom were serving life sentences, in addition to over 1,700 individuals who had been detained without charges following the outbreak of the conflict in Gaza.
