Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the Israeli captives were already crossing the Rafah border crossing to enter Egypt in Red Cross ambulances.
10 Israeli settlers were released from Gaza in exchange for the soon-to-be liberated Palestinian prisoners. Another two foreign nationals will be released apart from the prisoner exchange deal.
Today's exchange included captives held by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement as well.
On Monday, Hamas announced that an agreement was reached to extend the temporary truce agreement in return for a prisoner exchange for two days, which was set to expire Tuesday morning, noting that the deal will be under the same terms as the previous truce.
The original agreement stipulated the liberation of 150 Palestinians in exchange for the Resistance releasing 50 Israeli captives.
Meanwhile, the entity continues its aggression campaign against the families of the released prisoners amid Israeli reports that the truce represents a failure to the occupation and an achievement for the Resistance, storming their homes and preventing them from celebrating the return of their loved ones, in addition to threatening them against showing any signs of festivities.
Israeli media reported that as the truce continues, there are talks that it might be upheld for a couple extra days.
Israeli Channel security affairs correspondent Amir Bar Shalom said there were talks about extending the truce for two more days, for a total of eight, with speculation that it might be extended for another two, for a grand total of 10 days.
"Israeli officials speculate the truce might be extended for two more days" so that more captives would be released, "and the fighting will resume on the weekend," Israeli media said.
"There is pressure from Qatar to go ahead with a large-scale, comprehensive prisoner swap for a long-term ceasefire and a postponement of a maneuver south of Wadi Gaza," the media reports added.
However, a truce does not mean a complete cessation of hostilities, at least not for the Israeli occupation forces. Israeli forces targeted a group of civilians on the first day of the humanitarian ceasefire as they attempted to return from the southern to the northern Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of two and the injury of others.
In a press release, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that Israeli occupation forces attacked two farmers who were working on their land east of the al-Maghazi camp. This incident led to the martyrdom of one farmer and the injury of the other.
On the third day of the temporary ceasefire, seven Palestinians were injured by Israeli occupation forces' gunfire in the vicinity of the al-Quds Hospital in Tel Al-Hawa, west of Gaza City, and the Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip.
Numerous violations, according to Hamas top official Osama Hamdan, came in the form of the Israeli occupation going against stipulations regarding the truce, the prisoner swap, and the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
