Hamas to release four female Zionist regime’s forces in exchange for ex-resistance commander

Abu Obeida, spokesman for the group’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, said the prisoner exchange will be conducted on Saturday as part of its ceasefire deal with the Zionist regime that was implemented on Sunday.

He announced the names of four Zionist regime’s female troops, Karina Araiv, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Elbaz, who are set to be released.

The regime has agreed to release as many as 50 Palestinian prisoners for every female Israeli trooper.

Among the 200 Palestinians that the Zionist regime must free tomorrow, is Zakaria Zubaidi, a former commander of the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades resistance coalition in the city of Jenin in northern West Bank, the spokesman noted.

Abu Obeida further identified Zubaidi as one of the Palestinian prisoners, who staged a historic escape from the Israeli regime’s Gilboa Prison in 2021 using only spoons to dig up a whole in the prison floor.

The prisoner was also defined as a symbol of the Second Palestinian Intifada (Uprising) against the regime.

According to spokesman, Israeli forces raided his home at the Jenin Refugee Camp amid the prospect of his release, assaulting and tying up his wife and children.

In the first phase of implementation of the ceasefire agreement, Hamas has agreed to release 33 captives in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held in Zionist regime’s jails.
