The movement said in a statement: "The Palestinian resistance received a list containing 1,468 names of prisoners from the Gaza Strip," explaining that this took place "within the framework of the ceasefire agreement, the exchange deal, and the exchange of information between the Palestinian resistance and the Zionist occupation, and based on communication that took place through mediators and continued for more than a month."
She added that "the list was followed up and reviewed with the competent authorities to verify it, and the status of all the names was confirmed except for 11 names that are still being searched for and investigated," holding "the occupation fully responsible for the lives of all the prisoners detained by it and for any manipulation or flaw in the list of names that it received."
This is the first time a Palestinian entity has received a list of names of Gaza prisoners who were arrested by the Israeli occupation army during the two years of genocide.
Hamas attributed the delay in announcing this list to Israeli procrastination, stalling, and manipulation of a number of names.
Hamas and its Prisoners' Media Office published a list of names of Gaza prisoners, in addition to an appendix that the office said included 11 names that the occupation had retracted its recognition of in its prisons.
The movement emphasized that "the occupation continues to forcibly conceal the names and numbers of other prisoners in its prisons and detention centers, and refuses to disclose them to this day." It added that the movement's efforts "continue to try to uncover their fate."
The Palestinian movement called on mediators to pressure Israel to disclose all prisoners held in its jails, guarantee their health and human rights, and "stop the grave violations against them that contravene international laws and norms."
Under the exchange deal, which came into effect on October 10, Palestinian factions released 20 living Israeli prisoners and the remains of 27 others out of 28, according to their announcements.
However, Israel claimed that one of the remains it received did not belong to any of its prisoners, and that another set of remains was not new but rather the remains of a prisoner whose remains had previously been recovered.
Under the deal, Israel released 1,968 Palestinian prisoners, including 1,700 from Gaza and 250 serving life sentences, who were released in deteriorating health conditions due to torture and starvation.
It also returned 330 unidentified bodies to the Gaza Strip, without mentioning when they were detained or the circumstances of their deaths. Some of them had decomposed over time, while others had their features obliterated by Israeli torture.
Israel is conditioning the start of negotiations to launch the second phase of the agreement on receiving the remains of three remaining prisoners, according to Hebrew media reports, while Hamas has confirmed on more than one occasion that it will take time to extract them due to the massive destruction in Gaza.
In contrast, thousands of Palestinian bodies lie under the rubble of homes destroyed by Israel during its two-year genocidal war, as it prevents the entry of machinery and heavy equipment needed to lift tons of rubble and retrieve them.
More than 10,000 Palestinian prisoners, including children and women, are held in Israeli prisons, where they suffer torture, starvation, and medical neglect. Many of them have been killed, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights and media reports.
The number of Palestinians arrested by Israel from the Gaza Strip since October 2023 remains unknown, as Tel Aviv refuses to disclose it, according to human rights organizations.
The ceasefire agreement halted an Israeli genocide in Gaza that began on October 8, 2023, which left more than 69,000 Palestinian martyrs and more than 170,000 wounded, most of them children and women, with reconstruction estimated by the United Nations to cost about $70 billion.
