Gaza - Saba:
Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, handed over six Zionist prisoners today, Saturday, in the seventh batch of exchange operations within the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
The handover took place today in two locations, the first in Rafah and the second in the Nuseirat camp.
The handover of three Zionist prisoners began in the Nuseirat area in central Gaza, following the first handover that took place a short time ago in Rafah and included two Israeli prisoners.
Meanwhile, prisoner Hisham al-Sayed will be handed over in Gaza City without a ceremonial ceremony.
The movement handed over the two Zionist prisoners "Tal Shoham" and "Avra Mengistu" in the Rafah area in the southern Gaza Strip this morning.
The Zionist occupation authorities announced today, Saturday, the names of the Palestinian prisoners scheduled to be released in a new batch of Palestinian prisoners, within the seventh phase of the prisoner exchange agreement with the resistance factions.
The "Israeli" occupation delayed delivering the list of names of Palestinian prisoners who will be released today as part of the seventh batch of the "Flood of the Free" deal.
According to the Palestinian Prisoners Club, the Zionist occupation will release 602 Palestinian prisoners from the occupation prisons, as part of an exchange deal with Zionist prisoners held in the Gaza Strip, under the ceasefire agreement.
The club's spokeswoman, Amani Sarahneh, reported that 445 Palestinian prisoners from the Gaza Strip were arrested during the Zionist war of extermination on the Strip on October 7, 2023, 60 are serving long prison sentences, 50 are serving life sentences, and 47 were re-arrested after their release in the exchange deal that took place in 2011.
As part of this batch, a number of prisoners released in the "Wafa al-Ahrar" deal who were re-arrested by the occupation state will be released, most notably prisoner Nael Barghouti, who spent 45 years in the occupation prisons, which is the longest period of detention in the history of the Palestinian prisoner movement.

From School to Camp
The 'Proletariat' school where I completed my secondary education, located on the Aden-Lahj road where I spent three years, has now become a camp for the Fifth Brigade, a newly established unit. This transformation carries a profound meaning for me. When a school turns into a camp or a prison, it signifies a serious failure in policies and the awareness of those in charge. Here, the camp appears to be more important than the school, a fact evident in the differences in attention, food provisions, maintenance, renovations, and material support. This reflects a clear aspect of the political consciousness regarding the status of the camp in comparison to the school, which also includes a student dormitory. The school we attended was far from ideal; it underwent no repairs or maintenance throughout our three years there. The contrast between the wretched state of the school and the well-equipped camp, which underwent complete renovations, was stark and striking. The camp became a place of pride, with newly established infrastructure that included all necessary means for military training in parachuting and assault, such as engineering obstacles, training grounds, and field training requirements. Competent officers of high ranks, tasked with training, were all affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. It's worth noting that before this place became a camp, it was a school with several teachers, some of whom were also affiliated with the Popular Front. I remember the philosophy, Arabic, and biology teachers, along with a Lebanese teacher of Palestinian descent who taught various aspects of the Arabic language. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine was the common thread between the school of the past and the camp where we train today. Their competence, ethics, and professionalism distinguished them all. This training course introduced me to new and significant knowledge that I had long wished for. The instructors were skilled and professional, carrying a unique awareness and maturity that earned our respect and admiration. We put in considerable effort to gain their approval through hard work, learning, and discipline. I grew fond of these trainers, and through them, I developed an affinity for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and its leader, 'George Habash,' whom they referred to as 'the Wise.' My gratitude towards this front, which was present in our school and equally so in this unprecedented military course, is immense. I cherished the trainer Abu Ali, from whom I learned military knowledge previously unknown to the Yemeni army. His lessons were new, unique, and filled with wonder and astonishment. I found myself asking more questions than I could count, while he provided detailed answers, enriching our military knowledge day by day. He regarded me as his star pupil, or at least that was my impression. I also admired trainer Abu Firas, who conducted intense field training involving combat, running, overcoming fires, and navigating engineering obstacles. Simultaneously, I followed the policies of the Popular Front, growing to appreciate it more than other Palestinian factions, perhaps because it deserved such affection, or because of the people I met through it. However, I always held great admiration and respect for its wise leader, George Habash.

Yemen's Houthis claims Triple Drone Strikes on Israeli Targets
Sana'a — Yemen's Houthi movement has claimed responsibility for three coordinated drone attacks targeting strategic sites across Israel, marking a significant escalation in their military campaign linked to the ongoing Gaza conflict. According to Houthi military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the operations struck Tel Aviv, Ashkelon, and the port of Haifa, using unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Yemen. Saree stated that all three attacks 'successfully reached their goals,' describing them as part of the group's continued support for Palestinians in Gaza. The Israeli military confirmed intercepting at least one drone over southern Israel, while local media reported explosions near key infrastructure sites. No casualties have been officially reported, but investigations are ongoing. These strikes come amid the Houthis' broader campaign to disrupt maritime traffic linked to Israel. The group has previously targeted commercial vessels in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait, warning that any company dealing with Israeli ports could face attacks.
