Israel releases 60 Gazan detainees nabbed during the war

Palestinian media reports that Israel has released 60 Gazan detainees back to the Gaza Strip in recent hours. The detainees were apparently arrested during the war.

Throughout the war, and especially during the past year under the ceasefire, Israel has periodically released Gazans who were detained during the fighting, typically in groups of 10 to 20 every few weeks. Israel has not publicly explained the releases, though the detainees are believed to be individuals against whom there was insufficient evidence to prosecute.

This is the largest group of Gazan detainees released in a single batch so far.

خرج اليوم 60 أسير ومختطف فلسطيني من معسكرات التعذيب الإسرائيلية؛ أحدهم نزل بعكازه، وآخر حمله رفاقه الأسرى، وأحدهم انهار بكاءً وصراخاً عندما وطئت قدمه أرض خانيونس جنوب قطاع غزة.

مشهد جديد يذكرنا بحال ثمانية آلاف أسير ومختطف يعانون أشد ويلات العذاب داخل معسكرات التعذيب… pic.twitter.com/bNzAeHxYMt
