Israel freed 30 Palestinian prisoners overnight, including 23 minors and 7 women, as part of an extended truce agreement with Hamas. This brings the total number of released Palestiniansprisoners to 240. The releases are part of a hostage swap deal that has seen 110 hostages freed by Hamas, including 80 Israelis, since the truce began on November 24th. Under the agreement, a minimum of 10 Israeli hostages should be released each day in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The deal is set to expire within hours, though a source says the releases so far have fulfilled the stipulations. The prisoner releases aim to deescalate tensions, though long term resolution remains uncertain.
