Abdullah Shataat, a Palestinian from the village of Biddya west of Salfit, was released from Israeli custody on Tuesday after being held since October 2023, according to Palestinian reports on Telegram. The circumstances of his detention and the terms of his release have not been detailed by Israeli authorities.
A Palestinian detainee, Abdullah Shataat, was released from Israeli prison on Tuesday after approximately 20 months in custody, according to a Telegram post by the Abu Ali Express outlet. Shataat, a resident of Biddya village west of Salfit, had been held since October 2023. The report did not specify the grounds for his original detention or whether his release was part of a broader administrative process. No Israeli official confirmation has been issued. The release follows a pattern of periodic prisoner releases and detentions in the West Bank tied to security operations and legal proceedings. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar releases, including a Palestinian militant from the same village (Biddya) freed last week after two and a half years, and releases of Gazan prisoners returning to the Strip. Shataat's status—whether he was held under administrative detention, criminal charges, or security-related incarceration—remains unconfirmed by Israeli sources.
