Israel, Hamas agree on four-day truce, hostage release and aid into Gaza
Israel's government and Hamas agreed on Wednesday to a four-day pause in fighting to allow the release of 50 hostages held in Gaza in exchange for 150 Palestinians imprisoned in Israel, and the entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave.
Note that this isn't ALL the hostages -- just 50 in exchange for 150 Palestinians imprisoned in Israel. archive.org link
A statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said 50 women and children will be released over four days, during which there will be a pause in fighting.
For every additional 10 hostages released, the pause would be extended by another day, it said, without mentioning the release of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.
Hamas said the 50 hostages would be released in exchange for 150 Palestinian women and children who are held in Israeli jails. The truce deal will also allow hundreds of trucks of humanitarian, medical and fuel aid to enter Gaza, the Palestinian group said in a statement.

How long after their release will Israel kidnap those released again?
I mean, can you really kidnap people who are already in an open air prison that you use as a bombing range?
The prisoners include Palestinians from the West Bank. Gaza is the open air prison.

The term "open air prison" was what human rights groups (iirc amnesty international) used to describe Gaza. I dont know of any creditable international human rights groups that have referred to the west bank as an "open air prison" in their reports on the region.
Movement restricted, pushed from their homes by colonizers, crops torn up when they try to subsist themselves, murdered with no recourse.
Yes, it's a prison. It doesn't really matter if CNN told you so or not.
Dont confuse human rights NGOs with shitty center right corporate media.
Do you actually confuse the two?
