The Israeli Prison Service has said that 90 Palestinian prisoners have been released in the West Bank, A2 CNN reports.
According to foreign media sources, the prisoners are being released as part of the first phase of the long-awaited ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.
The move comes after three Israeli hostages were released by Hamas to the Red Cross in Gaza City earlier on Sunday.
The Palestinians released from Israeli prisons include 69 women and 21 teenage boys from the West Bank and Jerusalem, according to Hamas.
According to the Reuters news agency, most of the people released today were recently detained and have not been tried or convicted.
During the first phase of the ceasefire, Israel is expected to release around 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and detainees, while Hamas is expected to release around 33 Israeli hostages. (A2 Televizion)
