GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- A group of Palestinians left the Gaza Strip on Monday to visit family members detained in Israel, a Gaza spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross said.
Ayman al-Shehabi told Ma’an that 50 family members visited 37 prisoners in Israel's Nafha jail.
In July, families in the Gaza Strip visited relatives detained in Israeli jails for the first time since 2007.
In 2007, Israel started limiting what it considered privileges for prisoners from Gaza in a bid to put pressure on Hamas to release Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was held in Gaza until last fall. more
