Hamas plans to release Israelis in exchange for 6K Palestinian prisoners

Tehran, IRNA – A Hamas leader has declared that the Palestinian resistance movement has decided to swap 6,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons in exchange for the Israeli prisoners that Palestinian fighters have nabbed.

Head of the Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement of Palestine in abroad Khaled Meshaal said in an interview with Al-Arabiya TV that Hamas captured some high-ranking officers of the Israeli army and that the resistance group intends to pursue a prisoner swap with the Zionist regime, the IRNA reported on Tuesday.

The number of Israelis, who are in custody of the movement, is sufficient to empty Israeli prisons of all Palestinian prisoners, because particularly top officers of the Israeli army are among the prisoners taken by Hamas in recent attack, he argued.

Many of the Israeli prisoners are civilians and citizens from other countries, he said, adding that the leadership of the resistance movement seeks to achieve the exact number of the prisoners, but the harsh Israeli bombardment prevents the group from counting the Israeli inmates.
