GAZA CITY — The militant Hamas rulers of Gaza say they’re releasing 55 prisoners from the rival Fatah movement as a gesture for the upcoming Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The Hamas statement yesterday said 50 other prisoners would also be freed.
The release is said to take place today.
Hamas wrested control of Gaza from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah movement two years ago, setting off a wave of mutual arrests.
Hamas has demanded that Abbas free hundreds of its activists from West Bank prisons.
