The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has handed over three Israeli captives to the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) in Deir al-Balah city in central Gaza Strip.

After decades of separation, freed Palestinians are reuniting with their children, many of whom were born after their fathers were abducted.

The Hamas resistance movement says Israel's use of abuse, torture and violations against Palestinian prisoners constitutes a "full-fledged war crime."

Zakaria Zubeidi, a senior leader of the Fatah movement and commander of its armed wing the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in the West Bank, was among 110 Palestinian prisoners released on Thursday.

This episode looks at the conditions faced by released Palestinians, following the third prisoner swap deal during the Gaza ceasefire.

The Gaza-based Prisoners Media Office says the Israeli regime “systematically” harassed and persecuted Palestinian prisoners and their families before and after their release.

By embracing abductees from different ideological and organizational backgrounds, Hamas has reaffirmed its commitment to collective resistance, solidarity, and the shared goal of liberation of Palestine.

Many prominent Palestinian abductees were freed as part of the swap deal on Saturday who had been serving long-term sentences in Israeli prisons for their resistance activities.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has criticized Israel for delaying the implementation of the terms of the Gaza ceasefire deal.

Israel has released the longest-serving Palestinian prisoner, Mohammed al-Tous, who had been in detention for nearly four decades.
