As part of the implementation of the first phase of the prisoner exchange deal, the occupation authorities released 183 Palestinian prisoners on Saturday, February 8, 2025. This batch included 18 prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment, 54 prisoners with high sentences, and 111 prisoners from Gaza who were arrested after October 7, 2023. Additionally, seven prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment were forcefully deported to Egypt as an initial stop before being transferred to other countries. This release comes amid the continued implementation of the exchange deal, while prisoners endure harsh conditions in the occupation’s prisons.
