Who are the Palestinian terrorist prisoners released as part of Gaza hostage deal? [View all]

--snip--Among those released was 67-year-old Mohammed Al-Tous, the longest-serving Palestinian terrorist prisoner. Al-Tous has spent 39 years in Israeli prisons for the 1985 terror attack he committed.

Raed Al-Saadi, 57, was also released on Saturday during the prisoner release. Saadi was imprisoned in 1989 for carrying out attacks during the First Intifada, killing IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians.

Some of the 70 deported terrorist prisoners were the Abu Hmeid brothers from Ramallah, Mohammed and Sharif, who were sentenced to life in prison. Nasser, their older brother, died in prison from cancer in late 2022, and his body is being held in Israel, according to Arab reports. He was a leader of the Fatah-affiliated armed terrorist group, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.

Palestinian media is releasing a video of released Fatah terrorist prisoner, Yasser Abu Bakr, speaking with the Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on the phone.

Dozens of convicted murderers in exchange for four kidnapped women. This is not a deal, it's extortion. And not a single word of outrage from the self-appointed "humanitarians".
-----------------

Here is just a sample of some more "freedom-fighting Mandellas" whose release is being met with silence at best and celebrations at worst. Know their names. They will kill again, and again. None of their victims will be members of Israel's government, and some will be Americans, as has been the often overlooked case in the past :
