Palestinian prisoners released: Israeli forces open fire to disperse crowds along the route
Thursday, January 30, 2025
Israel has released 110 Palestinian prisoners, as part of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
Hundreds of Palestinians gathered Beitunia, in the occupied West Bank to welcome them home.
Around 30 children are among the prisoners released. At least 32 of them were serving life sentences.
And Israeli forces opened fire as the Red Cross convoy carrying the Palestinian prisoners travelled through the occupied West Bank.
Israeli soldiers used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse crowds along the route of the heavily-protected convoy.
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud is in Gaza City, Tareq Abu Azzoum in Khan Younis and Hamdah Salhut in Jordanian capital, Amman, because the Israeli government and Palestinian Authority have banned Al Jazeera from reporting inside Israel and in the occupied West Bank.
