Hamas senior official Hassan Yousef, father of the "Green Prince" Mosab Hassan Yousef, was released today from administrative detention, according to Palestinian media. He was held since the start of the war and was hospitalized upon release.
Hassan Yousef, a senior Hamas figure in the West Bank and the father of Mosab Hassan Yousef (the "Green Prince" who worked with Shin Bet), was released from administrative detention today after being held since October 7, 2023. Palestinian media reported he was hospitalized after release. Administrative detention is a procedure used by Israel to hold suspects without trial, typically based on classified intelligence. Yousef's release may carry political significance given his senior role in the movement and the timing during the ongoing war.
