Thirty-nine Palestinian women and minors have arrived at the Beitunia checkpoint following their release from the Ofer, Damon and Megiddo prisons as part of the hostage deal, the Israel Prisons Service confirms.
The 150 prisoners being released in the deal are either under indictment or have been convicted of security offenses, according to the Justice Ministry. Many of the teens have been imprisoned for throwing stones and clashing with Israeli troops. A handful of those being released have been convicted of attempted murder but none have been convicted of murder.
