BREAKING
Al-Houthi: We find ourselves in the most sacred battle and the greatest position. We do not consider the sacrifices to be wasted losses; rather, we have given everything for the sake of this stance.
Al-Houthi: The Zionist scheme is undoubtedly a plot to enslave and exploit this nation. This is a fact, not an exaggeration.
Al-Houthi: Great sacrifice in the path of God only increases our steadfastness, determination, certainty, resilience, and cohesion.
Al-Houthi: The Zionist crime confirms the importance of Yemen's conscious and insightful position based on constants, values, and human ethics.
Al-Houthi: The Israeli enemy is a criminal who proves its brutality and monstrosity through all its criminal practices, void of any controls.
Al-Houthi: The Israeli enemy's record is one of terrible and horrific crimes, full of bloodshed against the Palestinian people and people in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran.
Al-Houthi: The crime of targeting ministers and civilian workers adds to the Israeli enemy's criminal record in the region.
Al-Houthi: All of the martyrs were ministers working in civilian fields.

15 Palestinian detainees freed as part of the first phase of the exchange deal between Hamas and "Israel" arrived in Turkiye from Gaza, Anadolu Agency reported. 

Turkish Intelligence said the Palestinian detainees were sent to Turkiye from Gaza through the Rafah border crossing. RIA Novosti sources confirmed that the prisoners indeed arrived in Turkiye.

A Palestinian source said that seven of the prisoners arriving in Turkey were from occupied al-Quds, three from al-Khalil, two from Ramallah, two from Jenin, and one from Nablus.

70 Palestinian prisoners who had life sentences were sent to Egypt on January 25 after they were freed from occupation prisons.

Turkiye, Qatar, Malaysia, and Pakistan are set to receive 15 prisoners each out of the 70 freed detainees.

The third exchange took place on January 30. It saw the release of 3 Israeli captives and 5 Thai nationals. In return, Gaza received 110 Palestinian prisoners and detainees in return.

The second exchange took place on January 25, when four female occupation soldiers were released in exchange for 200 Palestinian detainees and prisoners.

The first exchange took place on January 30, when Hamas released three Israeli women in exchange for 90 Palestinian prisoners and detainees.

Trump-Netanyahu meeting

Meanwhile, Netanyahu's office announced that "Israel" will send a delegation to Doha this week to "discuss technical details related to the continued implementation of the agreement."

Hamas has expressed its readiness to continue the second phase of the ceasefire, mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States.

The second phase aims to secure the release of remaining captives and a significant number of Palestinian prisoners and lay out steps toward ending the Israeli war, which has devastated the Palestinian territory of 2.4 million people.
