The same day, Israel also agreed to release 110 Palestinian hostages, 33 of whom are serving life imprisonment for deadly attacks.
Previously, Israel demanded the release of Arbel Yehud, who is being held captive in Gaza by the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, in exchange for letting hundreds of thousands of Palestinians return to northern Gaza.
