GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Hamas authorities in Gaza released some 274 prisoners Monday in a goodwill gesture on the occasion of the Eid Al-Adha holiday.
Tearful families greeted the prisoners, all men, as they emerged from the Reform and Rehabilitation Center in Gaza City at noon.
At a brief news conference, prison administrator Lt. Col. Nader Suleiman said authorities released a total of 370 people from Gaza Strip jails, including approximately 280 released under a government campaign to promote "dignity" in police work. Another hundred were released on a temporary basis for Eid Al-Adha.
