Ten Palestinian detainees were released on December 15 under a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement between Israel and Hamas, arriving in Deir al-Balah for medical checks by the International Committee of the Red Cross. Since October 2023, over 9,300 Palestinians, including women and children, are estimated to be held in Israeli prisons, with rights groups reporting over 100 deaths in custody. The ceasefire, effective October 10, aims to halt Israeli attacks and facilitate the rebuilding of Gaza. Negotiations for the next phase depend on Israel receiving all remains of its captives, despite conflicting claims from both sides.
