Report: Israel warns against celebrations in the occupied West Bank

Israel has warned Palestinians in the occupied West Bank against celebrating prisoners' release on Monday, Al Jazeera reported.

Israeli forces distributed fliers in areas where the prisoners' families live, warning “anyone who participates in such activities exposes himself to punishment and arrest," the report said, citing the families of the prisoners.

The report came as the Israeli army has raided the homes of several Palestinian prisoners in the occupied West Bank whose names were included in the list of prisoners to be released in an exchange deal following the Gaza ceasefire.

Israel agreed to release 250 Palestinian prisoners serving long sentences and life sentences, and 1,700 prisoners from the Gaza Strip captured during the war, in exchange for Hamas releasing all Israeli prisoners, both alive and dead.
