Israel frees Palestinian prisoners
Israel has begun to free a group of Palestinian prisoners, whose release was agreed as part of the deal that allowed peace talks to resume.
A group of 26 prisoners, all convicted of attacks that happened before 1993, were driven out of a jail in minibuses with tinted windows.
Some were taken straight to the Erez crossing with the Gaza Strip, while others were handed over to Palestinian officials in the West Bank.
