A four-day truce between Isreal and Hamas was declared on Friday and in exchange for prisoners, hostages are expected to be released later on Friday.

According to Qatari mediators, as part of the agreement, several Palestinian inmates from Israeli jails will be released at 4:00 pm after the release of 13 women and children held captive in Gaza.

At least 50 hostages are anticipated to be released during the four days, leaving an estimated 190 in the hands of Palestinian terrorists. 150 Palestinian detainees are expected to be freed in return.

The agreement promises relief for Gaza’s population of almost two million people following weeks of constant Israeli bombardment.

The Hamas administration in the region claims that 15,000 people have died in the conflict to date. Out of the 2.4 million people living in the territory, the UN estimates that 1.7 million have been displaced.

Thousands of civilians who had fled to regions close to Gaza’s border with Egypt were getting ready to head back to their villages at dawn.
