Ahead of the fifth day of an Israel-Hamas truce, Israel has freed 150 Palestinian detainees, and Hamas has released 69 hostages.

Of all the Palestinian prisoners released so far, 98 were detained without charge. 119 of the freed prisoners were children and the remaining 31 were women.

    I pulled the list of the 50 added - it’s actually a little interesting:

    1. They are all women, 2 of whom are under 18.
    2. 25 are Israeli citizens. The previous one was exclusively those who do not have Israeli citizenship.
    3. All but 4 were arrested after October 7th.
    4. 15 were charged with “תמיכה בטרור”, which translates as “supporting terrorism”. Another 12 were charged with “תמיכה בטרור, הסתה”, so basically that + incitement to violence.
    5. 3 were convicted already - 2 for attempted murder, and 1 for “תמיכה בטרור, עבירות מרמה, שירות לארגון בלתי חוקי, קשר לביצוע פשע” which Google translates as “Support for terrorism, fraud offences, service to an illegal organization, connection to the commission of a crime”
    6. 35 of them are arraigned to civilian courts - 15 to military courts. As previously mentioned, this seems to correlate strongly with where they live/were arrested.

    And the crowd pleaser:

    Ahed Tamimi is on that list - she was charged with “הסתה, תמיכה בטרור”, and is listed as being a member of “חז"ע”. That is an accusation with very serious consequences if true - PFLP are a terrorist organization designated for sanctions by many countries - US, CA, UK, etc.
