Palestinian media outlets report that 33 detainees, including two women, were released by Israel back to the Gaza Strip this morning.
Israel regularly returns Gazan detainees to the Strip, mostly after determining they are not suspected of terror activity. Some terror suspects who are considered low-risk have been released due to lack of space in Israeli jails.
