Profiles: The prisoners behind the swap - Features - Al Jazeera English: "The release of 477 Palestinian prisoners - only the first wave of the 1,027 who are to be exchanged for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit - will take place on Tuesday and is believed to be the largest exchange for a single Israeli captive.
Shalit, 25, has been held in captivity since 2006, after a Hamas-led border cross raid that is believed to have lead to his capture.
Many of those on the list are from the Gaza Strip or the occupied West Bank, and will be allowed to return to their homes, whereas 203 with families in the West Bank will be either exiled to Gaza or deported to undisclosed countries."
