Prisoners travel to exchange point
- 13 years ago
Rough cut (No reporter narration).
A long-awaited prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas began as a convoy of buses made their way at dawn on Tuesday (October 18) towards the Kerem Shalom crossing.
The first phase of the exchange, expected to take several hours, will end a saga that has gripped Israelis over the five years of the soldier Gilad Shalit's captivity in Gaza.
A long and heavily guarded convoy left the Ktsiyot prison in Israel's southern Negev desert where the majority of inmates had been held.
