On Monday evening, dozens of released Palestinian prisoners attempted to return to the West Bank. However, in many cities they were confronted with closed checkpoints. Israeli settlers also set fire to cars.
Molotov cocktails and stones were also said to have been thrown at Palestinian villages. According to initial information, no one was injured. The army had warned Palestinians in villages near Israeli settlements not to celebrate the release of prisoners. Thousands of cheering people still poured into the streets, welcoming the return to Ramallah and other cities.
As reported, Israeli authorities have released 90 Palestinians following the release of three Hamas hostages. Among them are 69 women and 21 male teenagers. The majority come from the West Bank, some from East Jerusalem.
Not involved in the Hamas massacre
According to the Israeli government, only residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the Hamas massacre will be released in Israel on October 7, 2023. This is likely to mainly affect Hamas fighters captured during the fighting over the past 15 months. The remaining Palestinians to be released are prisoners held for both minor offenses and serious crimes.
According to Hamas, the next transfer will take place this Saturday. The right-wing Israeli Minister of Finance has now spoken out in favor of the conquest of the entire Gaza Strip. “We must conquer the entire strip and establish military rule there,” Bezalel Smotrich said. There is no “third force” that can exert control there. Victory in Gaza cannot be achieved with the current army chief Herzi Halevi.
