110 Palestinian prisoners will be liberated in the next installment of the first stage of the Toufan al-Ahrar prisoner exchange, the Flood of the Free, on Thursday, 30 January. They include 32 with life sentences, 48 with long sentences, and 30 Palestinian children and youth. Among those who will be liberated are Mohammed Abu Warda, serving 48 life sentences (the third highest, after Abdullah Barghouti and Ibrahim Hamed, equivalent to Hassan Salameh) in Zionist jails, and Zakaria Zubeidi, one of the six heroes of the Freedom Tunnel escape from Gilboa prison, from Jenin camp.

They also include Ammar Mardi Howeitat, the Jordanian prisoner who last week refused deportation when Jordan refused to receive him, despite him being a Jordanian citizen.

So far, 290 Palestinian prisoners have been liberated from Zionist prisons in the first two installments of the Toufan al-Ahrar exchange.

Earlier today, Abu Obeida, the military spokesperson of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, stated that, as part of the Al-Aqsa Flood prisoner exchange deal, the Al-Qassam Brigades have decided to release the following zionist prisoners tomorrow, Thursday, January 30, 2025:

1. Arbil Yehud
2. Agam Berger
3. Gadi Moshe Moses

The Zionist regime had attempted to use the exchange of Yehud as a pretext to restrict Palestinians from northern Gaza from returning to their homes, despite the fact that Saraya al-Quds had confirmed that they were holding her and that she would be released in the next exchange. After the exchange was set for Thursday, 30 January, the images of half a million Palestinians sweeping back to Northern Gaza in powerful images of return at the hands of the Resistance and in defeat of the occupier became a global symbol of victory and a harbinger of return to all of Palestine from the river to the sea, especially for the 70% of Palestinians from Gaza who are refugees forced from their homes and lands during al-Nakba.

According to the lists released by the Prisoners’ Media Office, the following Palestinian prisoners will be liberated tomorrow. Samidoun will provide updates throughout the day, and we encourage you to follow us on Telegram and X for the latest news.

Once again, as throughout the history of prisoner exchanges, it has been made clear that it is the resistance that brings liberation, to the prisoners, the land and the people of Palestine, a resistance that stretches from the heart of Gaza, throughout Palestine, to Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran, and to the people of the world. Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network salutes all of the prisoners, their families and loved ones, and the Resistance and the people of Gaza who have made their liberation possible.

We urge everyone, around the world, to join with the Palestinian people in Gaza and everywhere, to celebrate the achievements of the Resistance and the humiliation of the occupier, and to celebrate and welcome each liberated prisoner as the heroes of our global movement that they are, in public events, with posters and public education, with actions and events exposing Zionism and imperialism everywhere.

We urge all supporters of Palestine and Palestinian and Arab communities to receive and honour the prisoners virtually and symbolically — and pledge to continue the movement until all of them are free, and all of Palestine is free, from the river to the sea.

Below is the list of names of 200 Palestinian prisoners, with life sentences and long sentences, to be liberated today from occupation prisons at the hands of the Resistance, as part of the second exchange of the Flood of the Free (Toufan al-Ahrar.)

Those who are being deported outside Palestine have been marked with an asterisk (*). They will remain in Cairo for one week before moving on to their next destination.

Salutes to all the liberated prisoners, their families and loved ones, the Resistance and the Palestinian people upon their liberation.

UPDATED following clarification/update from the Prisoners’ Media Office.

The Prisoners’ Media office published the following important update in preparation for the next phase of the first stage of the Flood of the Free/Toufan al-Ahrar exchange, which will take place this coming Saturday, 25 January 2025.

Nahed Al-Fakhouri, the media official in the Office of Martyrs, Wounded and Prisoners in Hamas, the Islamic Resistance Movement, said that the second part of the first phase of the Flood of the Free exchange, according to the ceasefire agreement between the Palestinian resistance and the Zionist occupation, will begin implementation next Saturday, 25 January 2025.

Al-Fakhouri confirmed that the resistance will present next Saturday the names of the occupation prisoners held by the resistance who will be released, and in return the occupation will present a list of the names of the Palestinian prisoners who will be released, followed by the actual exchange.

The agreement stipulates that every female soldier of the occupation soldiers will be exchanged for 30 Palestinian prisoners with life sentences and 20 prisoners with long sentences, noting that if the resistance hands over four female soldiers, the total number of prisoners released will be 120 prisoners with life sentences and 80 prisoners with long sentences for a total of 200, according to the list whose names were agreed upon in advance.

Al-Fakhouri clarified out that if the number of female soldiers to be exchanged by the resistance decreases, the number of Palestinian prisoners who will be released will decrease as well. Some of the prisoners with life sentences will be deported outside Palestine; al-Fakhouri stated that the Arab Republic of Egypt will be one of the destinations for the immediate step of the prisoners’ liberation.

UPDATE, 21 January: “Notice issued by the Prisoners’ Media Office regarding the date of the second phase of the first stage of the prisoner exchange

We would like to confirm that the date for implementing the second batch of prisoner exchanges is Saturday, January 25. According to the text of the agreement: ‘On the seventh day of the release of the first batch, the second batch will be released.’

The interpretation differed, as it was considered that the counting of days begins from the day immediately following the launch of the first batch, which makes the seventh day coincide with Sunday. 

In contrast, the first day was counted from the date the first batch was released, making Saturday the seventh day.”

**

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network salutes all of the liberated prisoners and the Resistance whose achievements have made their liberation possible. We urge everyone, around the world, to join with the Palestinian people in Gaza and everywhere, to celebrate the achievements of the Resistance and the humiliation of the occupier, and to celebrate and welcome each liberated prisoner as the heroes of our global movement that they are, in public events, with posters and public education, with actions and events exposing Zionism and imperialism everywhere.

The Week of Action to Free Ahmad Sa’adat and all Palestinian Prisoners is continuing amid the Flood of the Free — this is an excellent opportunity to highlight the prisoners with lengthy sentences and support the resistance’s demand for their liberation, while celebrating the exceptional accomplishments of the Flood of the Free on a daily basis. 

We urge all supporters of Palestine and Palestinian and Arab communities to receive and honour the prisoners virtually and symbolically — and pledge to continue the movement until all of them are free, and all of Palestine is free, from the river to the sea.

In the early morning hours of Monday, 20 January, 90 Palestinian prisoners were liberated from the jails of the Zionist occupation regime in the first day of the Flood of the Free (Toufan al-Ahrar) prisoner exchange, achieved by the Palestinian Resistance as part of the first stage of the ceasefire agreement imposed upon the occupier. Despite hours and hours of delays created by the occupation, repeated invasions of Jerusalemite Palestinian prisoners’ family homes in an attempt to prevent them from celebrating, and the firing of tear gas and rubber-coated metal bullets on the crowds awaiting the prisoners’ release in Beitunia, the Palestinian people celebrated and received their beloved, liberated prisoners and the Resistance and sacrifices of the people of Gaza that obtained their freedom.

They included multiple liberated prisoners who had earlier been released by the resistance in the first prisoner exchange of Al-Aqsa Flood, in November 2023, only to be targeted for re-abduction by the occupation, including Wala’a Tanja, Ahmed al-Khashan, Haneen al-Masaed, Rawda Abu Ajamiyeh, and Samah Hijjawi, as well as several well-known, leading prisoners, such as Khalida Jarrar, the prominent Palestinian feminist, leftist and scholar; Abla Sa’adat, the wife of Ahmad Sa’adat, the imprisoned general secretary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and writer Zahra Khadraj of Qalqilya; journalists like Israa Lafi, Bushra al-Tawil, and Rula Hassanein; students like Jenin Amr, Raghad Amr, Shaima Rawajbeh, Tamara Abu Laban, Duha al-Wahsh, Amal Shujaia, Ola Jouda, Dunia Shtayyeh, Aseel Eid al-Yassini, Baraa Fuqaha, Shatha Jarabaa, Dania Hanatsheh, Raghad Mubarak, sisters Shaima and Alaa Ramadan, and Al-Yamama Hreinat; educators like Hadeel Shatara and Fatima al-Rimawi; and three members of the Al-Arouri family, targeted and imprisoned because of their relation to the assassinated martyred Hamas leader, Salah al-Arouri: Dalal al-Arouri, Fatima al-Arouri, and Fatima’s daughter, Alaa Saqr.

For both Duha al-Wahsh and Wala’a Tanja, both learned that their brothers had been martyred during their imprisonment, a reality that had been kept from both of them due to the blockade on news and information imposed upon the prisoners. Duha, a medical student, learned that her brother Ahmad, a doctor, had been martyred following her arrest, only upon the moment of her liberation; so, too, did Wala’a Tanja, whose joy at liberation was met with the news that her beloved brother Ayman had been martyred during her imprisonment.

Ahmad al-Khashan, from Bir al-Basha, south of Jenin, was abducted by the occupation on 25 January 2024, the same day his brother, Wissam, also a liberated prisoner, was martyred by the occupation’s bullets, and his brother Mohammed injured in the leg. He had previously been liberated in the November 2023 exchang.

Several of the women prisoners required immediate health care, and the clear signs of medical neglect and abuse stood in sharp contrast to the health of the three Zionist captives who had been released by the Resistance earlier in the day, despite their circumstances under a genocidal bombing and siege in Gaza. Khalida Jarrar emerged from prison with the signs of her mistreatment — including five months and one week held in solitary confinement with only a small slit with which to breathe the air — evident on her face and body, while Margaret al-Rai emerged from the bus with a broken hand, injured by the assault of occupation prison guards. Many of the prisoners had lost tens of pounds during their imprisonment due to the occupation’s starvation policy directed against the prisoners.

Dunia Shtayyeh, the 20-year-old student at the Faculty of Sharia at An-Najah University, was awaited by her grandmother, the famous Hajja Mahfouz Shtayyeh, who became an iconic symbol of Palestinian connection to the land as she hugged her olive trees as they were cut and burned by settlers.

In fact, the women prisoners were subjected to abuse on the day of their release, as related by Jerusalemite liberated prisoner Latifa Mashasha in interviews; after being transferred from Damon to Ofer prison, the women were dragged by their hair, thrown on the ground while dogs barked at them. Several women were beaten, shortly before they were finally delivered to the ICRC for the exchange. Meanwhile, occupation forces were imposing terror upon the homes of the Jerusalemite prisoners, repeatedly invading their family homes, summoning family members to the notorious Moskobiyeh interrogation center, and warning of any kind of celebration of the release of their beloved prisoners. Meanwhile, in Beitunia, occupation forces attempted to dispel the growing crowds awaiting the liberated prisoners, injuring 6 as they fired upon them, and forcing the prisoners’ families to wait long into the early morning hours. However, none of these efforts quelled the celebration of the Palestinian people, who joyously welcomed the liberated prisoners, waving the flags of the resistance and Palestinian flags and chanting for the victorious resistance in Gaza, al-Qassam Brigades, Saraya al-Quds, and the prisoners’ liberation.

Unanimously, the prisoners expressed their love and solidarity for the people of Gaza. “Our feelings go to our people in Gaza. Our concern in prison, despite the torture and abuse, is for the war on Gaza to stop. Our message and thanks to them… We will never forget what they have done for us us until the Day of Judgment,” said liberated medical student Bara’a Fuqaha.

The 90 liberations are only the first of a series of exchanges that will see approximately 1,737 Palestinians liberated in the first stage of the Flood of the Free/Toufan al-Ahrar by the Palestinian Resistance. This is only the first stage, with the second stage of prisoner exchanges targeting the leaders of the Resistance, including Marwan Barghouti, Ahmad Sa’adat, Abdullah Barghouti, Ibrahim Hamed, Abbas al-Sayyed and Hassan Salameh, that the occupation has refused to release. Once again, as throughout the history of prisoner exchanges, it has been made clear that it is the resistance that brings liberation, to the prisoners, the land and the people of Palestine, a resistance that stretches from the heart of Gaza, throughout Palestine, to Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran, and to the people of the world.

We urge everyone, around the world, to join with the Palestinian people in Gaza and everywhere, to celebrate the achievements of the Resistance and the humiliation of the occupier, and to celebrate and welcome each liberated prisoner as the heroes of our global movement that they are, in public events, with posters and public education, with actions and events exposing Zionism and imperialism everywhere.

The Week of Action to Free Ahmad Sa’adat and all Palestinian Prisoners is continuing amid the Flood of the Free — this is an excellent opportunity to highlight the prisoners with lengthy sentences and support the resistance’s demand for their liberation, while celebrating the exceptional accomplishments of the Flood of the Free on a daily basis. 

We urge all supporters of Palestine and Palestinian and Arab communities to receive and honour the prisoners virtually and symbolically — and pledge to continue the movement until all of them are free, and all of Palestine is free, from the river to the sea.
