The release of over 100 Palestinian prisoners by Israel began after delays caused by chaotic scenes during an earlier hostage release in Gaza. Among those freed were 30 children, two of whom are just 15 years old. Some prisoners face life sentences, while others will be deported. The delay followed chaotic celebrations in Khan Younis, where seven hostages, including two Israelis, were freed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the disorder and demanded safer protocols for future releases. Hamas confirmed the transfer of prisoners from Ofer prison, with mediators ensuring secure exits for future hostages.
