Gaza: 15 Palestinian Prisoners’ Bodies Returned in Ongoing Exchange

Nasser Hospital, in the south of the Gaza Strip, announced on Friday that it had received the bodies of 15 Palestinian prisoners, as part of the ceasefire agreement concluded on October 10 between the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas and the Zionist entity.

The bodies arrived at the hospital “as part of the 13th series of exchanges, bringing the total number of bodies received to 330,” the same source said.

According to the agreement, the Zionist entity must return 15 Palestinian bodies for every body of a Zionist hostage handed over.

Since the beginning of the fragile ceasefire that came into effect, the Hamas movement has released the 20 surviving hostages at once in exchange for the release of nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, and has returned 25 of the 28 deceased hostages it committed to hand over under the agreement.
