Israeli soldiers injured, on Friday, at least thirty-one Palestinians who were gathered in front of Ofer prison in Beitunia town, west of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank, awaiting the release of detainees being held in Israeli prisons.
Israeli forces attacked Palestinian citizens while they were waiting for the release of their family members who were being released from occupation prisons, in front of Ofer prison.
Hundreds of family members were gathered in front of the prison, while soldiers fired live ammunition, rubber-coated steel rounds, and tear gas canisters at the peaceful citizens.
Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) medics treated 31 Palestinians in front of the prison, including 3 who were shot with live rounds, 4 who were shot with rubber-coated steel rounds, including a photojournalist who was shot in the leg.
Additionally 22 people sustained inhalation injuries from tear gas exposure, and 2 suffered injuries as a result of falls.
Sources added that among those who sustained injuries from live ammunition were two children 12 and 16 years old, and a young man, 20. They were all transported to hospital for medical intervention.
As part of the truce deal between the occupation state and the Islamic resistance movement (Hamas), several Palestinian detainees will be released from Israeli prisons, in exchange for the release of hostages being held by the resistance group.
On Friday evening, the occupation handed over 39 Palestinian detainees, including 24 women and 15 children to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
It is important to note that prior to the release of the detainees, Israeli forces stormed the homes of three female detainees in occupied Jerusalem and warned their families not to celebrate, organize receptions, or hold any press interviews.
Sky News reporting that crowds had gathered near Ofer prison on the occupied West Bank. The reporter says the crowd wasn't posing a threat & it felt like a carnival of homecoming.
