Hamas: Israel to free old, sick prisoners

None

The second phase of the Gilad Shalit swap will see Israel releasing 550 Palestinian prisoners, according to criteria set by Hamas, a group spokesman said Wednesday.

 

Although Israel can choose the identities of the inmates to be freed, it must meet certain criteria, Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida said. (Elior Levy)
