Hamas Hands Over Three Israeli Captives in Prisoner Swap Deal

Gaza (Quds News Network)- Al-Qassam Brigades handed over on Saturday three Israeli captives to the International Red Cross as part of the fourth prisoner exchange deal under the first phase of the ceasefire agreement. Preparations are also underway to release 183 Palestinian hostages.

The handover took place in southern Khan Younis and Gaza City. The three captives are Ofer Kalderon, Keith Siegel and Yarden Bibas, amidst a heavy presence of fighters from the Al-Qassam Brigades.

The captives stood alongside resistance fighters on a platform with the writing “zionism will never prevail”, where a handover agreement was signed between a Hamas representative and the Red Cross.

Meanwhile, Israel is preparing to release Palestinian hostages included in the fourth batch of the exchange deal.

The initial phase of the agreement, which spans 42 days, aims to exchange 33 Israeli prisoners for 1,900 Palestinians in three stages.
