AI Summary:
Abu Yusuf* has been standing in a crowd near the rubble of the former home of Yahya Sinwar, the slain Hamas political and military leader, in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis. With his four-year-old son perched on his shoulders, he has been waiting to catch a glimpse of the two Israeli captives set to be released. The releases are part of a high-stakes ceasefire agreement aimed at ending months of war that began Hamas releasing 20-year-old soldier Agam Berger in Jabalia refugee camp. Israeli authorities release 110 Palestinian prisoners, including 32 serving life sentences and 30 minors. Abu Yusuf says their release makes him feel that what he lost in the war was not in vain. Israeli captives flanked by masked al-Quds Brigades fighters were heavily guarded. Bystanders surged forward to take photos and young men close to the captives jeered. Israel said Arbel Yehud should have been released last Saturday. Khan Younis’s homes lie in ruins, the farmland has been stripped bare by bulldozers. 63-year-old Abdul Qadir* stood off to the side, watching in silence. “The credit goes to the Palestinians,” he said.
