Israel forces storm homes of Palestinian prisoners set to be released

Israeli soldiers stormed the homes of Palestinian prisoners from occupied East Jerusalem set to be released as part of a prisoner swap deal between Palestinian groups and Israel, according to local reports. 

Footage captured by Al Jazeera showed its Jerusalem correspondent and cameraman being manhandled by soldiers as they were reporting outside the home of detainee Amani Khaled Noman Hashem.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir had previously said he would crack down on any attempt to celebrate prisoner releases in Jerusalem.
