Israel released 110 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for three Israeli hostages held in Gaza. The prisoners released ranged in age from 15 to 69 years and had been imprisoned for years, with some involved in major militant activities. Key individuals released include Zakaria Zubeidi, a former militant leader and co-founder of a theatre in the Jenin refugee camp, and Mohammed Abu Warda, a former Hamas militant sentenced to 48 life terms for planning and executing suicide bombings. These releases are part of a broader agreement aimed at securing the release of hostages and easing tensions in the region.
