Who Are the Palestinian Terrorists Being Released?

(Maariv-Jerusalem Post-Ha'aretz) Danielle Greyman-Kennard - Jihad a-Karim Azziz Rom, who participated in the lynching of IDF reservists Vadim Norzitch and Yosef Avrahami in 2000 and the abduction and murder of Yuri Gushchin in 2001, is set to be released as part of the Gaza peace deal, Maariv reported Friday. Baher Badr, one of the terrorists responsible for a suicide bombing in Tzirifin in 2004 and given 11 life sentences, is also reportedly set to be released. Israel has reportedly refused to release any child murderers, life prisoners who have served less than a decade in prison, and those defined as "terror symbols." 250 prisoners serving life sentences will be released, as well as 1,700 Palestinians from Gaza who did not participate in the Oct. 7 attack. 22 Palestinian minors from Gaza will be freed as well as 360 bodies. Security officials estimate that the prisoners released now will assume leadership roles in Hamas and Fatah in the coming years. "We are now releasing the next Yahya Sinwar, so we must know who these people are and what they are capable of," a senior security official said. "There are some very brilliant and dangerous minds among them."
