Hamas announces list of new 30 prisoners slated for liberation
The Palestinian Resistance announces that it will be liberating another 30 prisoners through the prisoner swap deal imposed upon the Israeli occupation.
The Palestinian Hamas Resistance movement unveiled the list of Palestinian prisoners slated for liberation on Thursday, in the seventh batch of prisoners set to be liberated as part of a prisoner swap with the Israeli occupation.
The head of the Commission of Detainees and ex-Detainees Affairs in occupied Palestine, Qadura Fares, announced that 30 female and child prisoners would be released on Thursday as per the previous mechanisms.
Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Fares said the prisoners, especially since the start of Operation al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, "are subjected to a brutal Israeli crackdown campaign inside the prisons, including beatings and starvation."
The prisoners feel that they are "heading to a phase where they feel that the security forces might resort to opening fire on them," he added.

All of the female prisoners who were liberated were from the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948.
