The IDF this morning rearrested one of the prisoners freed under the current ceasefire deal, says the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club.
Israeli forces reportedly arrested Israa Ghuneimat, 41, during a raid on her home in Surif, north of Hebron in the West Bank. She was among the dozens of female prisoners released on January 19 as part of the first round of prisoner-hostage exchanges.
Ghuneimat has been arrested several times by the IDF. She was a candidate on Hamas’s slate in the anticipated 2021 Palestinian legislative elections, which were later canceled by the Palestinian Authority.
