Claim 1: “Israel releases 35 Palestinian prisoners back into Gaza”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While web search results confirm that Palestinian prisoners were released as part of a ceasefire deal and that crowds greeted them in Gaza, none of the provided evidence specifies the exact number '35'. The evidence mentions a 'list of Palestinian prisoners to be released' but does not provide the specific count to corroborate the claim.

Claim 2: “rights groups documenting torture, sexual violence and deliberate starvation in Israeli detention”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources report these specific abuses. One source describes the prison system as a 'network of torture camps' with sexual violence; a UN representative warns against 'sexualized torture in detention settings'; and a report from human rights organizations explicitly lists 'rape, sexual assault, beatings, sleep deprivation, and starvation' as widespread and systematic.

Claim 3: “More than 9,400 Palestinians remain imprisoned”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence for this claim is completely irrelevant. The web search results discuss François Rabelais (a French writer), and the Wikipedia results discuss Afro-Palestinians and general geography. There is no mention of the number of imprisoned Palestinians.
