A Palestinian inmate slated for release under the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal attacked a female prison guard before being restrained and detained.
A Palestinian prisoner who was set to be released as part of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas attacked a female prison guard during the preparation process to release the prisoners, a spokesperson for the Israel Prison Service announced on Saturday evening.
Other prison staff subdued the prisoner, and the guard received medical treatment on-site.
The prisoner involved was subsequently transferred for detention and interrogation by the Israel Police.
The number of Palestinian security prisoners being released by Israel in exchange for the return of 48 hostages, 20 still alive, is the lowest ratio agreed upon in decades, Walla reported on Friday night.
Walla learned that the final list of security prisoners includes 195 prisoners serving life sentences, and only 60 of them are Hamas operatives. Just for comparison, in the Gilad Schalit deal, 450 Hamas operatives were released, including prisoners who led significant terrorism against the State of Israel.

The 1,700 Gaza detainees who will be released will not be terrorists who raided on October 7, 2023, and the release of Hamas operatives has been limited as much as possible.
Who are some of the prisoners being released?
Jihad A-Karim Azziz Rom, a terrorist who participated in the lynching of IDF reservists Vadim Norzitch and Yosef Avrahami in 2000 and the abduction and murder of Yuri Gushchin in 2001, is set to be released as part of the Gaza peace deal, Maariv reported early on Friday morning after the Israeli government approved the deal.
Rom, who was 26 at the time of the lynching, was sentenced to life for Guschin’s murder plus an additional 20 years for his role in the killing of the two reservists.
Baher Badr, one of the terrorists responsible for a suicide bombing in Tzirifin in 2004, is also reportedly set to be released. Bader was sentenced to 11 life sentences.
Israel has reportedly refused to release any child murderers, life prisoners who have served less than a decade in prison, and those defined as ‘terror symbols’ will not be released.
