2023 Israeli–Palestinian prisoner exchange

During the Gaza war, a series of exchanges were made between Israel and Hamas to exchange militant-held hostages for Palestinian prisoners. The negotiations were brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, and were part of a broader temporary ceasefire agreement. In Israel the deal was called "Operation Heaven's Door" (Hebrew: דלתות שמיים), and the subprogram for the rehabilitation of foreign citizens was called "Operation "Friendly Hand" (Hebrew: יד אחות).

Israel released 240 Palestinian prisoners, 107 of whom were between 14 and 17 years old, and three-quarters of whom had not been convicted of a crime, although some were awaiting trial in a military court. In exchange, Hamas released 105 civilians, which included 81 children, women, and elderly women from Israel, 23 Thais and one Filipino.
