The International Committee of the Red Cross has said it had facilitated the release and transfer of 15 Palestinian detainees from Israeli detention centres to Ramallah.

According to Reuters, the number announced by the ICRC typically includes only those who the organisation was directly responsible for releasing.

The neutral, Swiss-based organisation is tasked with the release of Gaza-based hostages and Palestinians in Israeli detention centres under the terms of a temporary truce between Israel and Hamas.

Earlier, Israel Prison Service had said it had freed 30 Palestinians from Israeli jails in the sixth such release under a truce arrangement with Hamas.

The Palestinians were released from prison facilities in Israel, the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, the prison service said in a statement.
