Israel has released 73 Palestinian prisoners as a gesture it calls goodwill, but Palestinians consider this action meaningless. The release, which took place on Friday, was initially scheduled for Tuesday but was delayed following two suicide attacks by Palestinians. In these attacks, which extremist groups claimed were revenge for the killing of four Palestinians in an Israeli raid in Nablus, two Israelis and two bombers were killed. Palestinian officials state that the release of the 73 individuals holds little significance as they were convicted of minor offenses rather than political activities. Meanwhile, while some of the prisoners reunited with their families, Israel announced that at least 9 suspected militants had been arrested in overnight raids in the West Bank.
