Who are the Palestinian prisoners released in exchange for Israeli hostages?

Associated Press  

RAMALLAH, West Bank — The release of four female Israeli soldiers from Hamas captivity on Saturday came at a heavy cost for Israel. In the West Bank city of Ramallah on Saturday, dozens of freed Palestinians, all looking wan and thin in stained gray Israeli prison jumpsuits, disembarked from a white Red Cross bus. Moshe Har Melech, whose son was killed in a Palestinian shooting attack in 2003, said that he was sickened by the released prisoners being greeted as “superheroes” and warned that even exile was no deterrent. “And that road is not particularly long.” Here’s a look at the more prominent Palestinian prisoners released on Saturday. From an impoverished and politically active family Jenin, in the northern occupied West Bank, Aradeh has three brothers and a sister who have all spent years in Israeli prison.
