Israel Releases Top Hamas Terrorist

(WARNING): Article contains propaganda!

* * * * *

Israel has quietly released from prison a top Hamas terrorist after serving 18 years in jail for founding its armed military wing, Izzad al-Qassam. The release of Salah Aruri was coordinated with the Israeli Security Agency (Shin Bet) and its Jordanian counterpart. Aruri, a Palestinian from the West Bank, is to spend years in exile in Jordan under the terms of the release. Aruri’s release could be seen as progress in the talks for a larger deal between Israel and Hamas to swap hundreds of Palestinian prisoners for captured Israeli soldier Cpt. Gilad Shalit. Aruri’s freedom could be a step by Israel to add pressure on the Hamas leadership to accept Israel’s demands that some of the Palestinian prisoners slated for release accept exile.
