International Red Cross confirms release of 11 Palestinian detainees

The International Committee of the Red Cross said on Tuesday it had completed the release of 11 Palestinian detainees from Israeli detention centres and has transferred them to Ramallah.

The number announced by the ICRC typically includes only those who the organisation was directly responsible for releasing.

The neutral, Swiss-based organisation is tasked with the release of Gaza-based hostages and Palestinians in Israeli detention centres under the terms of a temporary truce between Israel and Hamas.
