Palestinians in the West Bank are waiting for the release of prisoners after the ceasefire agreement

Most of the 90 Palestinian prisoners expected to be released on Sunday are women, as well as several children.

There will be more anxious days over the next six weeks.

In the first phase of the deal, some 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and detainees from Gaza are to be released in exchange for 33 Israeli hostages, including three women released by Hamas in Gaza on Sunday afternoon.

One of the most high-profile detainees is Zakaria Zubaidi, the former leader of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades militant group in the northern West Bank city of Jenin.

The 49-year-old has served time in both Israeli and Palestinian prisons for numerous crimes, including murder.

He said that he carried out a shooting attack in 2002 in which six Israelis were killed.

Zubaidi was also in the news in 2021 when he tunneled out of an Israeli prison before being recaptured five days later.
