Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef was released from Israeli detention yesterday on health grounds, according to Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom). His son, the defector known as the "Green Prince" Mosab Yousef, warned that he may attempt to spark an intifada in Judea and Samaria.
Sheikh Hassan Yousef, one of the founders of Hamas, was released yesterday from Israeli administrative detention on health grounds, journalist Ariel Kahana reports in Israel Hayom. Yousef, a senior Hamas figure from the West Bank, had been held since the start of the war. His son Mosab Yousef — the former Hamas insider who defected and cooperated with the Shin Bet for years, known from the book and film "The Green Prince" — warned that his father may try to ignite an intifada in Judea and Samaria. The release comes amid fluctuating Israeli detention policy toward senior Hamas operatives. The younger Yousef's warning carries weight given his firsthand knowledge of Hamas's internal dynamics. No official comment from Israeli security agencies has been released so far regarding the decision or the assessment of follow-on risk.
