Ceasefire Agreement: Release of four Israeli hostages, in return for the release of 200 Palestinian prisoners

Gaza City. The Palestinian Islamic militant group (Hamas) has released four Israeli women hostages as part of a prisoner exchange program on Saturday.
About 200 Palestinians were brought from the Israeli side in four Red Cross vehicles at an intersection in Gaza where the hostages were handed over, and they were exchanged for four Israeli female hostages, an AFP correspondent said.
According to the Israeli Hostage and Disappeared Families Forum, those released include Karina Ariv, Daniela Gilboa, Nama Levy and Liri Albagh.
Albag was 19 when she was captured, while all the others are Israelis in their 20s.
According to a Palestinian source, four Israeli hostages have been freed in exchange for 200 Palestinian prisoners, including 120 serving life sentences in Israeli prisons under the ceasefire agreement with Hamas in Gaza. Stating that he does not have the right to speak publicly on this subject, the source said on condition of anonymity, ‘120 of these prisoners are serving life imprisonment.’
