Israeli Occupation Forces released 200 Palestinian prisoners serving long sentences and life sentences, in exchange for the release of four female soldiers by the resistance in the Gaza Strip.

Among those freed was Mohammad Arda, one of the participants in the major escape from Gilboa Prison in 2021, known as the "Freedom Tunnel" operation, alongside five of his companions.

Mohammed Qassem Arda was born on Sept. 3, 1982, in the town of Arraba, south of Jenin in the occupied West Bank. He was arrested by the Israeli Occupation on May 16, 2002, after being besieged in a building where he was hiding in Ramallah, central West Bank. He was sentenced to three life sentences and 20 years.
