The road near Beitunia checkpoint in Ramallah smells strongly of tear gas. This is where the 39 Palestinian prisoners will go after they are let out of Israeli prisons.
Palestinian men and boys are standing in front of the Israeli army on the road.
When we got there, the soldiers shot rubber bullets and tear gas at the crowd to make them move away.
Some kids here threw rocks and tear gas back at the soldiers.
A feeling of somewhat quiet has come over this place as families start to come. The crowd is getting closer to the checkpoint and there have been more shots fired. People are feeling nervous and tense right now.
More update on this story soon…
