Shalit-deal prisoner re-arrested near Jerusalem

A Palestinian man who was released from an Israeli jail as part of the prisoner swap to release Gilad Shalit was arrested in Abu Dis, near Jerusalem, on allegations that he was involved in throwing Molotov cocktails and rocks at security forces, it’s reported today.

Hamas today said it would not release Avraham Mengistu, an Israeli held in the Gaza Strip, unless Israel released prisoners who were released in the Shalit prisoner swap and re-arrested since then.
