Israel and Hamas conducted their fifth hostage-prisoner swap under a tentative ceasefire, releasing three frail Israeli hostages while 183 Palestinian prisoners were freed. The three released Israelis appeared weak and disoriented, raising alarms among their families, with reports indicating that several Palestinians were hospitalized due to mistreatment. This exchange follows international negotiations for a longer-lasting ceasefire. Crowds in Tel Aviv celebrated the release, but the state of the hostages led to heightened anxiety about their wellbeing. Discussions are underway to solidify ongoing peace efforts.
'Out of the 183 inmates released by Israel in return, the Palestinian Prisoners' Club advocacy group said seven required hospitalisation, decrying brutality and mistreatment in jail.'
'Jubilant crowds in Israel's commercial hub Tel Aviv cheered as they watched live footage of the three hostages, flanked by masked gunmen, brought on stage.'
