A Palestinian terrorist released in the recent hostage deal has died from wounds he sustained during a deadly attack he carried out a year ago, according to Palestinian media.

Kazem Zawahreh from Bethlehem carried out the shooting attack near Ma’ale Adumim in February 2024 in which an Israeli was killed. Zawahreh was shot in the head at the scene and has been hospitalized since.

He was released during the recent hostage release and Gaza ceasefire deal via a mobile intensive care unit and succumbed to his wounds today.
