How many prisoners and captives have been released? from Israel and Hamas


How many prisoners and captives have been released?

A total of 26 Israeli citizens, 78 Palestinians, 14 Thais and one Filipino have been released since the four-day truce started on Friday.

Here is how the exchange unfolded and what is expected to happen next:

  • On Friday, 13 Israeli children and elderly people were released by Hamas, as Israel freed 39 Palestinian women and teenagers, including minors.
  • Hamas released 13 Israelis early on Sunday – six women and seven minors – after a delay, while Israel earlier freed 39 Palestinians – six women and 33 minors.
  • Fourteen Thai and one Filipino citizens were also released by Hamas during the process.
  • Another round of exchange is expected later on Sunday.
Hamas said 50 women and children are to be freed in return for 150 Palestinian women and children in Israeli jails in total under the truce deal. Israel says the truce could be extended if more captives are released at a rate of 10 per day.
