Thirty of the 110 Palestinian detainees set to be released by Israel on Thursday in exchange for three Israeli hostages are minors, the Palestinian Prisoners Society said. The group said 32 of the detainees being released had faced life sentences. Eleven detainees will be sent into exile, a source told The National. Israeli intelligence has been calling families of detainees set to be released in the occupied West Bank asking them not to perform public displays of joy, the association said. The advocacy group condemned this intervention.
