Who are the Palestinians being released

According to Reuters the group of Palestinians being released today will include 24 women and 15 teenage boys. 

Qadura Fares, Palestinian commissioner for prisoners, said that the Palestinian prisoners will be handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross at Israel’s Ofer military jail at about (14:00 GMT).

“After the Red Cross receives the [Palestinian] prisoners, the ones from Jerusalem will go to Jerusalem and the ones from the West Bank will gather in Betunia municipal council where their families will be waiting,” Fares told Reuters.

We should have more information about the identity of the individuals as the day progresses.
