A bus carrying Palestinian prisoners released under the Gaza ceasefire deal arrived in Ramallah, where cheering crowds welcomed them. The 369 inmates were freed in exchange for three Israelis held hostage in Gaza since October 7, 2023. Wearing keffiyeh scarves, the prisoners were lifted onto shoulders and embraced by relatives before undergoing health checkups. Unlike previous releases, they wore jackets instead of prison uniforms. Israel had warned Hamas to release three living hostages or face renewed conflict. The Palestinian Prisoners' Club confirmed the latest exchange amid ongoing tensions.
