WEST BANK, (PIC)

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) carried out new raids on Saturday on the
homes of released prisoners in the West Bank as part of the sixth batch of
the prisoners’ exchange deal, within the framework of the first phase of
the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.

The IOF stormed the home of released prisoner Iyad Harbiyat in the village
of Al Majd, west of the city of Dura in the Al-Khalil governorate.

In a related context, IOF soldiers invaded the city of Al-Bireh and raided
the home of released prisoner Mazen Al-Qadi, who was released today after
more than 22 years of imprisonment, having been sentenced to three life
sentences and 25 years.

Nine released prisoners with life sentences arrived in the city of
Ramallah, while the occupation authorities transferred three released
prisoners with life sentences to occupied Jerusalem, including the Hamas
member Nabil Obeid.

Earlier, the IOF raided the homes of other released prisoners, specifically
in Bethlehem, targeting the home of released prisoner Abdul Rahman Maqdad,
and threatened his family against organizing a reception for him.

The IOF also stormed the home of released prisoner Moussa Nawara “Al-Douri”
shortly before his release.

On Friday evening, IOF soldiers raided the home of released prisoner Hafiz
Shrayea, who was released today, and threatened his family against
organizing any celebration for his release. He was deported abroad and had
been imprisoned since April 2002, serving life imprisonment.

In occupied Jerusalem, the occupation forces summoned the father of the
Hamas prisoner Nabil Salama Obeid to the Moskobiya investigation center.

Nabil Obeid, 46 years old, was arrested on September 24, 2004, and
subjected to harsh and lengthy interrogation, before being later sentenced
to seven life imprisonment terms, in addition to 30 years.

The sixth batch of the exchange deal included the release of 369 prisoners
from the Israeli prisons, including 36 prisoners sentenced to life
imprisonment, and 333 from the Gaza Strip who were arrested after October
7, in exchange for the release of three Israeli prisoners held by the
resistance in Gaza.

Thus, the number of prisoners that the resistance managed to free in six
batches rises to 1,138 Palestinian prisoners, in exchange for 19 Israeli
prisoners. Among the released prisoners are 236 who were serving life
sentences, with the least having spent 20 consecutive years in the
occupation’s prisons.
