First bus carrying 32 Palestinian detainees welcomed with cheers in Ramallah

A bus transporting the first 32 Palestinian detainees out of the 183 set to be released this Saturday from Israel’s Ofer prison has arrived in Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.

The detainees were welcomed by their families, sparking jubilant celebrations amid a large crowd gathered to greet them.

Meanwhile, the Red Cross has expressed outrage over the way Israel’s prison administration handled the release of security prisoners from Ketziot prison today, according to a security source.

The organization reportedly protested that the prisoners were transported in handcuffs, with their hands raised above their heads, and wearing bracelets inscribed with the phrase "eternity does not forget."

In response, the spokesperson for Israel’s prison administration stated: "The prison fighters are dealing with Israel’s worst enemies, and until the very last moment on Israeli soil, they will be treated as prisoners. We will make no compromises on our people's security."
