Female Palestinian prisoner Israa Jaabees among prisoners released on Sunday
Israa Jaabis, a Palestinian woman who suffered severe burns and was charged with attempted murder after her car exploded near an Israeli checkpoint in 2015, has been welcomed home by her family.
Speaking to media after her release late on Saturday night, Jaabis said: “My wounds are visible and my struggles, I don’t need to talk about.”
She described the emotions of yearning to be with family as the price prisoners pay.
She also expressed concerns about other Palestinians she had been imprisoned with who were not released, including young girls who she said cried when she was released “because they’ve been subjected to a lot of things”.
“I’m talking about the small girls. They’ve been through things that nobody should witness,” Jaabis told journalists.
