Hamas leader in Tubas Faze’ Sawafta was released on Wednesday evening from Israeli jails where he had been held administratively with neither charge nor trial.
46-year-old Sawafta was released by the Israeli occupation forces at the Salem military checkpoint west of Jenin city. His family members were in attendance.
Sawafta was kidnapped by the occupation soldiers from his home on April 17 2017 and sentenced administratively to four months in Israeli prisons. The occupation authorities renewed his administrative term for the second time.
Sawafta father of four children had spent over 15 years in Israeli jails mostly in administrative detention. His brother Assem was killed by the Israeli army in 2002.
