Palestinians emphasized their "steadfastness in their land," echoing the phrase displayed by the al-Qassam Brigades on one of the banners at the prisoner handover platform, "There is no migration except to occupied al-Quds."
That said, the Israeli occupation has warned several families of detainees in the West Bank against celebrating the liberation of their sons.
This batch included 333 Palestinian prisoners from the Gaza Strip, arrested by the occupation during the war, along with 36 sentenced to life imprisonment. For every Israeli captive released by the resistance on Saturday morning, 111 Gazan prisoners and 12 life-sentenced prisoners were freed.

Earlier today, the Palestinian Resistance released three Israeli prisoners—Alexander Tropanov, Sagi Dekel Chen, and Yair Horn—in Khan Younis on Saturday, located in the southern Gaza Strip. This release is part of the sixth batch in the prisoner exchange process outlined in the ceasefire agreement.
The event saw hundreds of fighters from the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, and the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad, stationed in the square where the captives were released.
