In a significant development, the first week of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has seen the release of four Israeli female soldiers and 200 Palestinian prisoners, including many serving life sentences. The exchange has ignited celebrations in the West Bank, where freed prisoners were met with large, jubilant crowds. However, tensions emerged as Israel accused Hamas of violating the agreement by not releasing a specific civilian hostage, Arbel Yehud, leading to a freeze on the movement of displaced Palestinians wishing to return to northern Gaza. Humanitarian aid continues to flow into the devastated region amid these ongoing complexities.
