Israel has released 11 Palestinian detainees after holding them for several months, according to a statement from the Palestinian Prisoners Information Office. The release took place through a southern Gaza border crossing, though no details were provided about the prisoners’ physical condition. The International Committee of the Red Cross transported them to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah for medical evaluation.

Previous groups of released detainees had reported signs of torture, malnutrition, and serious injuries, alleging mistreatment during detention. Human rights organizations in both Israel and Palestine estimate that more than 10,000 Palestinians, including women and minors, remain imprisoned in Israel. Many face poor conditions, inadequate medical care, and reports of abuse.

The latest release follows earlier prisoner exchanges linked to ceasefire arrangements between Hamas and Israel. Observers say the move may signal limited progress in humanitarian negotiations, though concerns persist over the treatment of detainees and the broader humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
