Deir Al-Balah (Gaza Strip), Oct 13 (AP) An Egyptian official has announced that 154 Palestinian prisoners released by Israel have been transferred to Egypt. The prisoners are part of a larger group of over 1,900 Palestinians who are being freed by Israel as a condition of Hamas releasing its remaining hostages. As per the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, the freed prisoners are to be relocated to third countries, according to the official, who is directly involved in the implementation of the deal. The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. In parallel, other Palestinian prisoners have made their way into Gaza following their release. Journalists from the Associated Press witnessed buses carrying the freed prisoners arriving at Nasser hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis, where massive crowds had gathered to welcome them. These prisoners were released on Monday morning from an Israeli jail as part of the ceasefire agreement, which also secured the freeing of hostages held by Palestinian militants. (AP) SKS SKS
