The Palestinians gather in the West Bank to welcome the prisoners launched by Israel

Samar Faisal stood between a crowd of people in the mature winter air, and a lot of enthusiasm trembling like a cold. She said that she was not believing that this day had come. Her brother was released, after spending more than 20 years in an Israeli prison.

“I am worried and prayed at the present time, I see it last,” said Ms. Faisal. Her brother was imprisoned to fight in the armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which appoints the United States and the European Union a terrorist group.

Mrs. Faisal was among a crowd of Palestinian families who gathered in the city of Ramallah in the West Bank on Thursday, pending a passion for welcoming more than 100 Palestinian prisoners being released from Israel in exchange for the hostages held in Gaza. This was the third swap of a hostage to the race in a continuous stopping deal between Israel and Hamas. During the first 42 days of the agreement, Hamas pledged to liberate at least 33 hostages, compared to more than 1500 Palestinians imprisoned Israel.

People stand outside a government entertainment center, examine people without reducing their phones to get useful news or calls from their loved ones who were worried about the updates.

Finally, at about 7 pm, a series of buses carrying dozens of Palestinian prisoners, including some who were convicted of deadly attacks against the Israelis. Officials said that sixty -seven prisoners arrived in Ramallah on Thursday, including 27 children. The other 14 arrived in Jerusalem and nine in Gaza, while 20 were sent to Egypt.

Earlier in the day, Hamas issued eight Israeli hostages and Thai in Gaza.

For some waiting outside the entertainment center, their expectation has been reduced due to sadness.

Alaa Zubaidi waited with her sisters and friends, and they all wore black clothes from the mourning on the memory of her older son, Muhammad, who was killed by an Israeli plane strike in the western city of Tobas in September.

She was waiting for the release of her husband, Zakaria Zubaidi, a former theater director who turned into the Israeli forces arrested in 2019. Escape for a short period of Israeli prison.

The Zubaidi family was removed from her home in Jinin at the hands of the Israeli forces after the death of Muhammad, and Mrs. Zubaidi and two of her other children, Samira and Iham were arrested, and held for several hours. Since then, she said, the Palestinian security forces have left them unable to return to their home.

However, these concerns were joy after the release of Mr. Zubaidi on Thursday, when people raised him in the crowd on their shoulders and hesitated his name.

Badd, Mr. Zubaidi, the sign of victory with both hands.

“May God protect Jenin Camp at this time.” “Today is a public referendum for the fighters.”
