**On January 19,** at the end of the evening, the Israeli released the Palestinian captives from the West Bank as part of the ceasefire agreement finally began. Most of these individuals have not been charged or tried : activists, lawyers, doctors, teachers, mothers and students are detained under the pretense administrative detention, while the journalists are held on the dubious charge of incitement. Palestinian detainees were released from Ofer prison hours after Israeli captives were released from Gaza. Israel delayed the release to prevent celebrations, but the people remained undeterred. A total of 90 Palestinian detainees were freed, and buses have arrived in Beitunia, Ramallah, where they are being welcomed as part of the exchange deal. Due to the delay in the release of 90 Palestinian hostages (including 20 children), intense clashes erupted at Beitunia’s Schools Roundabout. Israeli forces stormed the families' waiting area, using rubber-coated bullets and tear gas to prevent celebrations. At least 7 injuries have been reported as families awaited their loved ones near Ofer Prison. The delay is believed to be caused by the absence of one female prisoner from the agreed-upon list. **Khalida Jarrar**, the Palestinian political prisoner, just got out of solitary confinement. Jarrar’s father, daughter and nephew all died while she was prison, and Israeli Security forces prevented her from attending any of their funerals. **All the Jerusalemite prisoners arrived at their homes accompanied by the occupation police**, with soldiers and special forces around their homes : 1) Freed Zeina Barbar arrives at her family home, but Zionist thugs continue to surround the captives' homes, enforcing harsh conditions and preventing any moment of joy or celebration. 2) The child Rose Khweis arrives at her family home, escorted by her father, as Zionist thugs continue to enforce restrictions outside. 3) The child captive Fahmi Faroukh arrived at his family home. According to The Wadi Hilweh Information Center - Jerusalem the released prisoners are : - Nawal Fteiha, sentenced to 8 years in prison, - Abla Sa’adat, 69 years old "administrative detention", - Tamara Abu Laban, sentenced to one year in prison, - Tahrir Jaber "administrative detention", female prisoners under arrest: - Zeina Barbar, - Latifa Msha'sha', - Aseel Eid. - Adam Al-Hadra, sentenced to 34 months in prison, - Thaer Abu Sarah, - Mahmoud Aleiwat, - Fahmi Farroukh, - Qasem Ja'afra, - Firas Al-Maqdisi, - Issam Abu Diab. **The liberated Palestinian young women from Birzeit University students**, from left: media students Amal Shujaiya, Shatha Jaraba, a Biology and Biochemistry major, and Wafa Nimr, raise the victory sign from inside the buses at the moment of their liberation  **Palestinian mother, Murjana Mohammed Mustafa Hreash**, mother of Nasser (5 years old) and Mohammed (3), is freed after being abducted on March 10, 2024.  **Inhuman conditions imposed by Israel** Families were forced to sign unfair conditions, including not showing joy at the release of their children. To protect their loved ones, they are avoiding media contact to prevent interference with their release or potential re-abduction. All Jerusalemite captives have returned home, escorted by Israeli intelligence, with soldiers and special units stationed around their residences.

On January 2025, on the first day of the ceasefire and while hostage deal was being implemented in Gaza, a group of Israeli settlers raided the Palestinian village of Sinjil north of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank ostensibly to disrupt celebrations over the expected release of 90 Palestinian prisoners under the Gaza ceasefire agreement. The illegal settlers torched a home and two vehicles, including one that was holding gas containers, which caused a major blast. They attacked the northern outskirts of the town, setting fire to four Palestinian vehicles, and pelting stones at four houses. A 86-year-old man had been in the home that was torched but was rescued in time and is being rushed to the hospital for treatment. En route to the hospital, his ambulance is reportedly held up at an Israeli military checkpoint. There are also no reports of arrests.

Despite Israel agreeing to enforce a 42-days long ceasefire starting Jan 19 at 8:30 am local time, Israeli forces launched a series of attacks in the first moments of the ceasefire targeting both civilians and security forces deployed to maintain public order and preserve their safety. The IDF spokesperson claimed it would not cease its attacks until it receives the names of the captives to be released in the first day. The Israeli government only officially announced abiding by the ceasefire starting 11:15 am after receiving the names. This led to the murder of about 20 people across Gaza City and the two southern governorates, Khan Younis and Rafah. --- Chronology of key events: - 9 am: **Injuries** reported after civilians were shot in the Shaboura camp and Al-Awda roudnabout in **Rafah** - 9 am, Gaza City: **3 brothers killed** in Al-Shaaf neighborhood, east of **Gaza City** - 9:15 am: **Injuries** from drone gunfire at Al-Najma roundabout, **Rafah** - 10:30 am: **7 police members killed** in an **airstrike on a vehicle** on Al-Qassam Street in **Khan Younis**   - 11:30: Man killed by drones in Rafah - Midday: **Young man killed** in Rafah. Journalist Saleh Al-Jafarawi recorded the incident where he was seen along with civilians running away from Israeli tanks and gunfire. Saleh explained that the group of people were about 1 km away from the Philadelphi axis, beyond the limit set out in the ceasefire agreement whereby Israeli troops would remain within 700 metres of the axis, which is the area people were prohibited from approaching. **Names of the martyrs:** 1.

They attacked also the villages of Qasra and Burin, south of Nablus, with the protection of the Israeli army. Several citizens suffered from suffocation while defending their homes. Settlers also burned a vehicle in Burin, owned by Adnan Izzat Al-Zaben, while occupation forces blocked civil defense crews from extinguishing the fire.

**On January 14, 2025,** at 22:15 p.m., the Israeli military has carried out three airstrikes on the P.A.-besieged Jenin Camp in the occupied West Bank. Three Israeli drone-fired missiles that targeted a group of young men near the Return Roundabout in Jenin camp last night around 10 p.m. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reports at least six people killed and several others injured. A “number of injuries” are in stable condition. Four of the murdered were transferred to Jenin Governmental Hospital, and two were transferred to Ibn Sina Hospital. According to documentation collected by Defense for Children International, Mahmoud Ashraf Mustafa Gharbieh, 14, was sitting with his father, who sustained critical injuries, along with a group of young Palestinian men. Mahmoud suffered critical injuries to the upper part of his body, according to information collected by DCIP. His father’s condition is stable. Palestinian ambulances brought the victims to the Jenin Governmental Hospital, where Mahmoud was pronounced dead on arrival. “Israeli forces routinely use aerial weapons in densely populated civilian areas with no regard for Palestinian children’s lives,” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, accountability program director at DCIP. “The square in Jenin refugee camp is a community gathering point and a bustling area where residents do their daily shopping, and Israeli forces targeted Palestinians, including Mahmoud, with deadly drone strikes when they posed no threat to the Israeli military.” Some sources says that Mahmoud Abbas’ security forces opened fire on the young men who recovered the bodies of the martyrs of the bombing in Jenin camp. ### Context The strike came amidst the ongoing PA besiegement of the Jenin camp for over 40 days despite that the Jenin Brigade and the Resistance Factions in Jenin Camp agreed to an initiative proposed to prevent Palestinian bloodshed. **Moments Earlier:** Jenin Battalion Agreed to Initiative Aimed at Ending Palestinian Infighting between Resistance groups and Palestinian Authorities. The Jenin Battalion of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s al-Quds Brigades agreed to an initiative to end the recent violence between its fighters and Palestinian Authority security forces. **Statement from the Spokesperson of the Palestinian Security Forces** *In response to the crime committed by the Israeli occupation army by targeting the Jenin camp, the security institution affirms the following: In light of the progress made by the security institution in imposing security and order, and establishing the rule of law within the framework of “Operation Homeland Protection,” and the flexibility shown by the security institution towards the initiative launched by the local community in Jenin to address the current situation, the occupation army proceeded to launch missile attacks on the Jenin camp, resulting in the martyrdom of several citizens. This is a blatant and premeditated intervention aimed at disrupting efforts and thwarting all attempts made to maintain security, order, and restore normal life. It also reflects the occupation’s malicious intentions to hinder any national effort that contributes to the protection of our people. In this context, we have previously expressed our serious concerns about the intervention of the occupation army at the last moment to sabotage the “Homeland Protection” operation and disrupt the efforts of the security institution to achieve security and stability for our Palestinian people.* Official Spokesperson of the Palestinian Security Forces Brigadier General Anwar Rajab 14/01/2025 ### **Martyrs names :** - Mahmoud Ashraf Mustafa Gharbia (15 y/o) - Moamen Ibrahim Abu Al-Haija (28 y/o) - Amir Ibrahim Abu Al-Haija (27 y/o) - Baha Ibrahim Abu Al-Haija (33 y/o) - Hussam Hassan Issa Qanuh (34 y/o) - Ibrahim Mustafa Quneiri (23 y/o) 3 are brothers martyrs : Mo'men, Baha'a, and Amir Ibrahim Mahmoud Abu Al-Haija (28, 33, and 27 y/o) Ibrahim Mustafa Quneiri is the son of Lieutenant Colonel Mustafa Al-Qanari, who publicly announced his defection from the PA at the beginning of its aggression on the Jenin camp.
