Israeli Authorities Released Prominent Hamas Leader

A key leader of the Palestinian resistance group Hamas, Sheikh Hassan Youssef, was imprisoned by Israel for 20 months.

According to the Palestine Information Center, the Palestinian Commission for the Affairs of Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners announced on Sunday the release of Sheikh Youssef from the Israeli prison in the occupied West Bank.

Youssef was arrested 20 times and spent a total of 24 years in Israeli prisons, most of them under the occupation regime's arbitrary and brutal administrative detention policy, which allows the occupation regime to detain Palestinians indefinitely without formal charges or bringing them to trial.

Sheikh Youssef was taken imprisoned on December 13, 2021, when Israeli government troops barged into his home in Beituniya, a hamlet west of occupied Ramallah.

Youssef made it clear in a statement that he will continue to battle to protect the Al-Aqsa Mosque site and the occupied city of Al-Quds after being freed. He further claimed that his latest detention was due to his appearance at the funeral of a Palestinian martyr in al-Quds.

Sheikh Youssef is known for his support of detainees and disadvantaged people, as well as his reform efforts.

Because of his social and political activities, he has been targeted by Israeli regime forces since 1971.

He was first arrested when he was 16 years old.

Afghanistan, (Daily Post). Insurgents attacked two vans in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-e-Sharif on Thursday, killing at least nine people.
