Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners freed

107 men were on board the buses, some of whom would
disembark in Hebron and the rest in Bethlehem. A few dozen were also delivered to the Erez crossing on the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip. They were among a total of around 340 prisoners who were expected to be freed after being transferred from the prisons of Ketziot, in the southern Negev desert, and Meggido, in northern Israel. 342 Palestinians
held for security reasons are to be released.
