The Israel Prison Service says it will free the Palestinian security prisoners slated for release tonight only after the bodies of the four hostages returned by Hamas arrive in Israel.
Prison guards plan to transport the detainees to Ofer Prison in the West Bank and Ketziot Prison in the Negev, where they will be identified by Red Cross representatives, says a spokesperson for the agency. They will then be released into the West Bank or Gaza Strip, respectively.
A source speaking to the Israel Hayom outlet claims that the inmates will not be released until the slain hostages are identified by Israel, which could take many hours after their return.
Hamas has claimed the prisoners will be released simultaneously with the hostages’ bodies.
It seems clear that Israel will not agree to phase 2 of the ceasefire but will try to continue the prisoner exchange to free as many hostages as possible before resuming the war.
