It is day three of a four-day truce between Hamas and Israel. The brief lull in Israeli attacks has given Palestinians time to take stock of the utter devastation of their homes and neighbourhoods. However, for many, only rubble waited where their homes once stood. After a delay of several hours, the exchange of a second group of Israeli captives held in Gaza for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails has taken place. Al Jazeera’s Stefanie Dekker reports.

Israa Jaabis, a Palestinian woman who suffered severe burns and was charged with attempted murder after her car exploded near an Israeli checkpoint in 2015, has been welcomed home by her family. Speaking to media after her release late on Saturday night, Jaabis said: “My wounds are visible and my struggles, I don’t need to talk about.” She described the emotions of yearning to be with family as the price prisoners pay.

The tunnel appeared to have been dug from below a toilet in the cell, from which the prisoners crawled their way out of the facility. The prisoners included Zakariye Zubeidi, 46, a former Fatah party leader in the northern […]
