Israel releases 33 Palestinians from West Bank prison as part of cease-fire swap

A Palestinian official says 33 Palestinians have been released by Israel from a West Bank prison.

Their release came shortly after Hamas released 24 hostages who had been held captive in Gaza for weeks, including 13 Israelis, 10 people from Thailand and one from the Philippines. It was the first stage in a swap under a four-day cease-fire deal.
