At least 98 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody since October 2023, and the real number is likely higher, according to a new report from the Israel-based rights group Physicians for Human Rights - Israel (PHRI).
Preparations are underway in Gaza for the release of six Israeli hostages in exchange for more than 600 Palestinian terrorists held in Israeli prisons. The six hostages are the last to be freed alive during the first phase of the deal with Hamas
Israel released 183 imprisoned Palestinian terrorists on Saturday in exchange for hostages Or Levy, Eli Sharabi, and Ohad Ben Ami. The list includes 18 terrorists who were serving life sentences and 111 Palestinians from Gaza who were detained during the war.
Israel is said to be evaluating the proposal, which entails a three-to-five-day halt in fighting, an increase in humanitarian aid to Gaza, and the release of an unspecified number of women and children held in Israeli prisons.
