Seventy Palestinian prisoners were released from Israeli custody and arrived in Egypt on Saturday as part of a Gaza ceasefire deal.
The group arrived aboard buses, according to Egyptian media outlets linked to state intelligence.
The release marks a significant development in the ongoing conflict.
Al-Qahera News reported that the prisoners were “deported” by Israeli authorities following their release.
The media outlet emphasized their arrival was part of the broader agreements under the truce.
The freed prisoners are set to receive medical care in Egyptian hospitals. This step underscores the humanitarian concerns surrounding their release.
The Gaza ceasefire deal, brokered with international mediation, has provided moments of relief amid prolonged tensions in the region.
The agreement includes various measures to ease the humanitarian crisis.
Egypt has played a key role as a mediator, leveraging its strategic position to facilitate dialogue and logistical support.
Observers see this release as a hopeful, albeit fragile, gesture in a conflict marked by deep divisions and cycles of violence.
