Several buses left Israel’s Ofer prison in the occupied West Bank on Monday, an AFP journalist saw, with the release of Palestinian prisoners expected under a ceasefire agreement following Hamas’s release of 20 surviving Israeli hostages.

Israel’s prison authority had said over the weekend that it was preparing prisoners who were due for release from two prisons, including Ofer, as part of the agreement.
