These terrorists could soon be released
Up to 300 Palestinian prisoners could be released in exchange for Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip. How many will return to terror?
Released terrorists are Palestinian heroes
The Justice Ministry published yesterday a list of Palestinian prisoners who could be released under the expected deal with Hamas. It is a list of 300 terrorists, with the agreement providing for the release of 140 Palestinian prisoners in the first phase. These prisoners are not ordinary criminals, but convicted terrorists.
The list includes prisoners convicted of various crimes. These include attempted murder, throwing stones, throwing Molotov cocktails, attacking a police officer, sabotage, shooting people, supporting terrorism and more. Israel clarified that of the 140 people being released, none have been convicted of murder. But that doesn’t mean they haven’t tried.
These terrorists include Mason Musa, who stabbed and seriously injured a female soldier in 2015. The terrorist Muhammad Abu Katish, who carried out an attack a year ago. He was looking for a victim with ultra-Orthodox Jewish appearance, and when he found one, he attacked him, stabbing him and seriously injuring him. He has served about one year of the 15 years he was sentenced to.
Just 10 days ago, Nafuz Hamad was sentenced to 12 years in prison after nearly stabbing a woman to death in front of her five children in Jerusalem two years ago. Hamad did not express “sadness, remorse or sympathy” during the trial.
The name Fatma Amarna is also on the list. She is 44 years old and comes from the village of Yabd in the Jenin area. In September, she tried to stab a police officer at the exit of the Temple Mount, but failed. The knife hit the protective vest he was wearing.
Most of the terrorists on the list come from Jerusalem and the Judea and Samaria area, and are expected to be released back to their place of residence.
For example, the terrorist Fatma Shahin, 33, from the Dehaisha refugee camp in the Bethlehem region, who carried out a knife attack in Gush Etzion on the eve of Holocaust Day in April last year, in which a 36-year-old Israeli was injured. The indictment says she intended “to carry out the attack against an Israeli citizen or soldier and to cause his death.”
In 2011, Israel traded over 1,000 jailed terrorists for captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. Most of them returned to terrorism in the years that followed. Among them was Gaza-based Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who is today the most wanted terrorist in Israel.
