The Israel Prison Service says it will only release the Palestinian prisoners after the bodies of the four hostages returned by Hamas arrive in Israel. The prisoners will be transported to Ofer Prison and Ketziot Prison for identification before being released into the West Bank or Gaza Strip. Israel claims the release may take many hours after the hostages' return, contradicting Hamas' claim of simultaneous release.
