Ramallah erupted in joy as 114 Palestinian prisoners, including those serving life sentences, were freed under a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel. Israel released 200 prisoners in total, with some sent to Jerusalem, Gaza, and Egypt. The release from Ofer prison followed Hamas freeing four Israeli soldiers. Israel imposed strict measures to prevent celebrations, raiding homes and restricting gatherings. Palestinian Authority security forces controlled the reception, banning Hamas flags.
