As part of a ceasefire agreement with Palestinian militant group Hamas, Israel has released 90 Palestinian prisoners, the majority of whom are from the West Bank, with others coming from East Jerusalem.
Palestinian media outlets showed footage and images of the released detainees arriving in Ramallah.
The release of the prisoners follows the handover of three Israeli hostages by Hamas on Sunday.
The hostages—identified as Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher by the Israeli military—were transferred to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) before being returned to Israeli forces.
They were then taken to a hospital in Tel Aviv, where they were reunited with their families.
Hamas has confirmed that an additional four Israeli hostages will be released next Saturday, as part of an agreement involving a total of 33 Israeli hostages being exchanged for 1,904 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails over a six-week period.
This exchange is part of a three-stage ceasefire agreement brokered between Israel and Hamas, following months of stalled negotiations during the ongoing 15-month Gaza war.
The ceasefire agreement, reached on Wednesday, marks the culmination of diplomatic efforts by the United States, Egypt, and Qatar to mediate between the two sides.
