The families of 90 Palestinian prisoners are anxiously awaiting their release from Israeli prisons in the West Bank as part of the Gaza ceasefire and cessation of hostilities deal.
Hundreds have packed into the town square in Beitunia, about a mile (1.6km) up the road from Israel's Ofer prison, waving Palestinian flags and chanting.
Amidst a feeling of excitement and nervous anticipation, Diash Dara was waiting for her sister Hadil.
The 32-year-old university administrative worker was held without charge for seven months.
“I'm happy, I think, a bit upset because of what happened in Gaza,” Diash told the BBC.
“The most important thing is that they stopped the war in Gaza. Even if she was not released today, we would be fine with it. But at least the war has come to the end.”
Most of the 90 Palestinian prisoners are expected to be released on Sunday, as well as several children.
Over the next six weeks, there will be more anxious days.
About 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and detainees from Gaza are expected to be released in the first phase of the deal in exchange for 33 Israeli hostages, including the three women freed by Hamas in in Gaza Sunday afternoon.
One of the most famous prisoners is Zakaria Zubaidi, who was the leader of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades armed group in the city of Jenin in the North West Bank.
The 49-year-old has spent time in Israeli and Palestinian prisons for a number of crimes, including murder.
He said he carried out a shooting attack in 2002 in which six Israelis were killed.
Zubaidi was also in the news in 2021, when he broke out of an Israeli prison before being captured after five days.
