A brief look inside Ward 10 of Ketziot Prison reveals a striking sight — the section for international prisoners now stands completely empty following the recent Gaza peace agreement.

The once heavily guarded ward, which previously housed detainees linked to cross-border conflicts and security offenses, was cleared as part of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal finalized earlier this month.

Under the terms of the agreement, Israel released nearly 2,000 prisoners in exchange for Hamas freeing the final 20 Israeli hostages, marking a major milestone in the two-year-long conflict.

Officials at Ketziot confirmed that all remaining inmates in the international section have been transferred or released in accordance with the ceasefire’s provisions. The now-empty ward symbolizes what many see as the first tangible outcome of the peace accord — a shift from war and incarceration toward reconciliation and reconstruction.

Observers note that while the empty cells represent progress, the true test of peace will come in the months ahead as both sides work to maintain stability and rebuild trust after years of bloodshed.
