154 Palestinian security prisoners freed and deported by Israel arrive in Egypt

An Egyptian official says 154 Palestinian security prisoners who were released and deported by Israel have arrived in Egypt at the Rafah crossing with Gaza.

The freed prisoners are to be sent to third countries as part of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, says the official, who has direct knowledge of the deal’s implementation. He speaks on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to brief the media.

The prisoners are among more than 1,900 Palestinians being freed by Israel in exchange for Hamas’s release of its remaining hostages.
