A Palestinian militant from the village of Biddya was released from Israeli prison after two and a half years, according to the Telegram post of reports. Arab social media networks are criticizing National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir for canceling the prisoners' festive celebrations in prison, the post adds.
A post on reports the source on Tuesday afternoon reported the release of a Palestinian militant from the village of Biddya after two and a half years in Israeli prison. The post further notes that Arab social media networks are complaining about National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's decision to cancel the celebrations that prisoners were planning. The source is a desk-reviewed report, attributed to reports's own curation network; no additional independent confirmation has been provided. As The Zioneer has previously reported (June 21), the release of prisoners — particularly those with security backgrounds — has been a recurring subject of public tension, with earlier cases involving Haredi deserters and festive parades in Beitar Illit. However, the current report is distinct and relates to a Palestinian militant, not to Haredi draft evaders.
