08.02.2025Day Fifth Exchange Freed Three
The fifth prisoner exchange occurred, with Al-Qassam Brigades releasing three Israeli captives in Deir al-Balah in exchange for 183 Palestinian prisoners. The exchange's staging included symbolic messaging, with Al-Qassam raising a banner reading "We are the flood... we are the next day."

Released Palestinian prisoners reported severe health conditions in Israeli prisons, while Israeli media criticized Netanyahu's handling of the captives' situation. Gallant contradicted Netanyahu's claims about prisoner health awareness.

Mass displacement continued at Al-Faraa camp, with 2,000 residents forced to evacuate. Israeli forces withdrew from Tammoun after a seven-day operation, leaving infrastructure destruction. The Gaza death toll reached 48,181.

By evening, 79 ICC member states condemned US sanctions, while reports emerged of Hamas seeking all life-sentence prisoners' release in the second phase of exchanges.
