Family members welcome released Palestinian prisoner Fatima Amarneh near Jenin, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, on Saturday. Raneen Sawafta/ReutersPalestinians released from Israeli prisons were met with celebrations on Friday evening as they returned to their hometowns and villages in Jerusalem and the West Bank. Fireworks streak across the sky as Palestinian prisoners that were released from the Israeli Ofer military facility are paraded in Beitunia, in the occupied West Bank, on Friday. Aseel El-Titi, a 23-year-old prisoner released on Friday, told CNN she had only found out that morning she was being released. The number of martyrs in Gaza has become greater than the number of prisoners [in Israeli jails],” El-Titi said.
