Occupied Jerusalem - QNA
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have rearrested 15 detainees who had been released as part of the Gilad Schalit prisoner swap deal with Hamas on October 11 last year, entailing the release of 1,020 Palestinians, Israeli newspaper (The Jerusalem Post) indicated. Eight of the Palestinians were from the first group of prisoners released, many of whom were serving life sentences for a variety of what Israel considered \'deadly terrorist attacks\', while the remaining seven were from the second group of prisoners who were serving lighter sentences. The IDF rearrested 36-year-old Ayman Salama who had been serving a 38-year sentence for his involvement in a 2002 bomb attack in Beersheba that wounded 18 people. This is in addition to Khalid Makhamira, who had been serving a life sentence since 2006 for his involvement in a series of shooting attacks in the West Bank during the second intifada. He was a Fatah member when he went into jail, and switched allegiance to Hamas during his years in prison.
