(Jerusalem Post) Daniel K. Eisenbud - A convicted Hamas operative released in the 2011 Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange was sentenced Monday to two life sentences for murdering Ch.-Supt. Baruch Mizrahi during a 2014 West Bank Passover terror attack. Ziad Awad, 45, had been sentenced to life in prison in 1993 for killing Palestinians he accused of collaborating with Israel.

Awad's son Izzadin, 21, was convicted of aiding him in the murder and sentenced Tuesday to 20 years imprisonment.
