After 15 years in Israeli jails the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) released Palestinian prisoner Yousef al-Naqayra a resident of al-Ramadin village in al-Khalil.
A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that dozens of citizens and relatives of the prisoner rallied at al-Dahirya crossing where they received him after his release from the Negev jail and then took him in vehicular procession to his native town.
Naqayra was arrested on July 7 2003 and then jailed after leveling several accusations against him including opening fire at Israeli patrol vehicles in an area south of Palestine and being a member of Hamas.
