The Israeli army has released some 80 Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reports citing Anadolu Agency.

The detainees were set free at the Israeli-controlled Kissufim crossing in eastern Khan Younis in southern Gaza, the sources added.

A medical source said at least 10 of the freed prisoners were in poor health and were hospitalised at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central city of Deir el-Balah.
