Palestinian women to be released by Israel for a prisoners swap deal with Islamic Hamas movement for exchange of a videotape of Israeli kidnapped soldier Shalit, are arriving Friday noon at the Israeli border with the Palestinian area, Xinhua reporters reported at the scene.

The reporters saw seven white International Red Cross cars and several Israeli police cars, carrying most of the Palestinian women to be freed Friday, left the Ofer prison between Jerusalem and Ramallah and arrived at the border nearby.

The women will be finally freed only after Israeli envoy on Shalit talks Hagai Hadas, who is in charge of checking whether the video tape brought by the German mediator contains true and recent-shot image of Shalit, gives the green light, said Israeli local media.
