The Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal includes the release of Hezbollah fighters captured during Israel’s operations in Lebanon. This provision is part of the second phase of the agreement, prioritizing civilians, women, and children detained after October 7. Hamas asserts this deal strengthens the resistance, with 30 Palestinian prisoners being freed for every female or child released. The first phase includes detainees from the 2011 prisoner swap, elderly prisoners, and those in ill health.
