The Israeli military is currently in the process of clearing the streets surrounding Ofer prison in the occupied West Bank in preparation for an anticipated prisoner release. According to reports from the team on the ground, the area is being secured ahead of the release.
Witnesses have observed two small Red Cross vehicles near the prison gate, accompanied by military vehicles. Additionally, two larger vehicles have been spotted in the vicinity of the prison complex, indicating heightened activity in the area.
Hamas has stated that it is expecting Israel to release approximately 200 Palestinian prisoners on Saturday. This group is said to include 120 individuals serving life sentences and 80 others with significant terms of imprisonment. The release is part of a larger ceasefire and hostage release agreement between the two parties.
