GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Relatives of Palestinians jailed in Israel left the Gaza Strip on Monday to visit detainees, a prisoners group said, in the fifth such visit since 2007.
As part of a deal to end mass hunger strikes in Israeli jails in May, Israeli authorities agreed to ease a ban on Gaza families visiting prisons.
Fifty-seven people left Gaza on Monday to visit 42 imprisoned relatives in Israel, Gaza-based prisoners group Husam said.
Group spokesman Muwaffaq Hmeid stressed that the visit came after the death of two parents of prisoners last week, before they were able to visit their imprisoned children. more
