Israel released 33 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for 11 hostages on Monday.
Jerusalem:
Israel’s prison authority said early Tuesday that 33 Palestinian prisoners had been released “during the night” under the terms of a truce deal that returned hostages from the Gaza Strip.
The release brought the total number of detainees freed by Israel during the initial, four-day pause in the fighting to 150.
