Palestinian crowds cheer release of security prisoners in West Bank, East Jerusalem

Videos from the West Bank and East Jerusalem show crowds welcoming and cheering the arrival of 39 Palestinian security prisoners freed by Israel as part of the truce deal with the Hamas terror group in exchange for the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza.

The released female and underage inmates, all convicted or indicted for terror-related offenses, include Israa Jaabis, 38, who was convicted of detonating a gas cylinder in her car at a West Bank checkpoint in 2015, wounding a police officer, and sentenced to 11 years in prison.

In East Jerusalem, the images come despite National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir instructing police to prevent celebrations of the releases. Some images show mounted police officers trying to disperse the crowd.
