 Further Teens from Palestine freed in anticipation of an extension of the hostage agreement

In return for hostages in Gaza, 39 Palestinians have been released from Israeli jails for the third time.

As part of the deal, he was freed together with the 40 Israeli captives who had been kidnapped on October 7.

With this, 117 Palestinians have been freed since the initial exchange on Friday.

According to the current agreement reached between Israel and Hamas, a final exchange is anticipated on Monday, but it may be prolonged.

Mohammed al-Awar was one of the most recent Palestinian inmates to be freed; he had been imprisoned for sixteen months. His mother claimed to be conflicted about his discharge.

In a video of their reunion, he remarked, "The large number of people killed in Gaza makes our joy incomplete."

Abdurrahman al-Zagal, another adolescent, was also let free, although he was released apart from the others while he was being treated in an Israeli hospital.

When he walked outside to get bread in August, his uncle claims he was shot in the head and injured by shrapnel in his lower torso. He was allegedly attempting to hurl a gasoline bomb at a nearby settlement checkpoint, according to Israeli authorities.

Since Al-Zaghal was still in critical care, his trial was held virtually.

On Sunday, he was seen taking off the electrical band off his leg.

Large crowds flocked to the streets of the West Bank, where the detainees were first being returned, to greet the coaches carrying the freed inmates, just as they had on previous nights of prisoner swaps.

In the video, several of the freed detainees can be seen being carried around on people's shoulders while other audience members wave Palestinian flags.

A list of 300 Palestinian detainees—mostly adolescent boys—who qualify for release under the terms of the agreement with Hamas has been created by Israel.

50 Israeli captives, including women and children, were to be released by Hamas within four days of the truce in return for 150 Palestinian inmates, according to a deal mediated with Qatar's assistance.

Thus far, 18 foreign nationals and 40 Israeli captives have been released.

Israel had already said that if at least ten Israelis were freed each day, the truce may be prolonged. But the administration has promised to destroy Hamas and said that any pause in its assaults was only temporary.

On Sunday, Hamas declared its desire to see the arrangement through to the finish and free more captives.

The group has notified mediators that it is willing to prolong the halt by two to four days, and that the extension may entail the release of twenty to forty more Israeli detainees, a senior Palestinian official acquainted with the Qatari negotiations told the BBC. Can't.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, called the framework agreement a "blessed thing" and made it apparent that an extension was possible.

The Financial Times was informed by Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman, that the group would need to find dozens of hostages in Gaza who were being held by other organizations in order to get an extension.

About 240 individuals were abducted in the October 7 assaults, and many of them are being held captive by Hamas, an Islamist movement supported by Iran that the US, Israel, the UK, and the EU all consider to be terrorists.

Some organizations, such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad, are thought to have taken part, however.

About 1,200 individuals were killed in the attack on October 7, most of whom were civilians, according to Israel.

Israel kept bombing Gaza in reprisal for the incident, destroying a large portion of its infrastructure in the process.

According to Hamas, about 15,000 people—many of them children—have died. There is an urgent need for large supply of help, particularly food, water, and hygiene kits.
