International Red Cross confirms release of 19 Palestinian detainees

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says it has facilitated the release and transfer of 19 Palestinian detainees from Israeli detention centres to Ramallah.

The number announced by the ICRC typically includes only those who the organisation is 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 that has ended.
