30 new prisoners, including eight female prisoners and 22 minor males, were liberated from Israeli occupation prisoners at Friday dawn, as part of the seventh batch of the indirect prisoner exchange agreement between the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza and the Israeli occupation.

The Palestinians welcomed their freed prisoners, raising flags of Hamas and Al-Qassam in the western part of Ramallah and the Old City of occupied Al-Quds, with slogans honoring the Brigades and the Resistance.

"God willing, we anticipate a comprehensive deal for the release of all #Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons."

Meanwhile, Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades published scenes of its fighters handing over Israeli captives to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in the Gaza Strip, fulfilling their part of the deal.

The Resistance fighters transferred eight Israeli captives to various areas of Gaza, including Palestine Square in Gaza City and the northern part of the Strip.

It is noteworthy that the number of liberated Palestinian prisoners since November 24 has reached 240, including 71 females and 169 minors.

Since the truce came into effect, Israeli occupation forces have been attempting to kill the joy of the Palestinian people on the occasion of the liberation of their loved ones from occupation prisons by banning any forms of celebrations. Occupation forces have also been assaulting journalists in an attempt to prevent them from reporting about the celebrations.

A temporary truce not an end to the aggression

Hamas declared on Thursday a one-day extension to the truce in Gaza. The truce, which was set to expire Thursday at 7:00 am, has been extended for a seventh day as per an agreement, the Resistance movement announced.

Earlier on the same day, Israeli occupation forces confirmed that the truce, which was approaching its end, would persist, "aiming to facilitate ongoing efforts for the release" of the captives in the Gaza Strip.

However, the current truce does not mean that a new round of war on Gaza has been entirely suspended. Analysts suggest that domestic pressures may prompt Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resume the aggression sooner rather than later. A delayed resumption could lead to tensions with far-right government ministers who supported the temporary truce with the understanding that the ground invasion would resume shortly.
