This comes as part of the exchange deal within the first phase of the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10th.
Al-Qassam Brigades said in a post on Telegram: “As part of the Al-Aqsa Flood prisoner exchange deal, we will hand over the body of one of the occupation prisoners that was found in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, at 21:00 Gaza time (19:00 GMT).”
On Tuesday evening, the Qassam Brigades handed over the body of one of the occupation prisoners that was found in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
With the handover of the body yesterday, the movement has released, since the start of the agreement, the twenty living Israeli prisoners and the bodies of 22 prisoners out of 28, while Tel Aviv had previously claimed that one of the bodies received did not match any of its prisoners.
Israel is conditioning the start of negotiations to launch the second phase of the agreement on receiving the remaining bodies of prisoners, while the movement asserts that it will take time to retrieve them due to the massive destruction in Gaza.
In contrast, there are 9,500 missing Palestinians, killed by the Israeli occupation army, whose bodies remain under the rubble of the destruction caused by the Israeli war of extermination, according to the Government Media Office in Gaza.
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 ceasefire agreement halted an Israeli war of genocide on Gaza, which left 68,875 Palestinian martyrs and 170,679 wounded, most of them children and women.
