Doron Kadosh: In the past few hours, I have reviewed the entire list of 734 terrorists expected to be released as part of the deal from Israeli prisons. I went through it name by name, terrorist by terrorist. It's an unbearably difficult list, long and filled with the blood of Israeli civilians and soldiers. I find it appropriate to present part of it here, to also remind us of the heavy price of the hostage deal, which deserves to be mentioned:
1. Ahmad Barghouti, a close aide and cousin of Marwan Barghouti, sentenced to 13 life terms for leading a "murder machine" that carried out attacks in which 12 Israelis were killed, including the suicide bombing at the Seafood Market restaurant in Tel Aviv.
2. Wael Qassem (head of the cell), Wassam Abbasi, Mohammed Odeh, members of Hamas's "Silwan Cell," responsible for attacks that killed 35 Israelis, including the bombing at Cafรฉ Moment in Jerusalem where 11 Israelis were killed, the attack at the Spaghettim Club in Rishon LeZion where 15 Israelis were killed, and the bombing at the Frank Sinatra Cafeteria at the Hebrew University where 9 Israelis were killed.
3. Zakaria Zubeidi - Former commander of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in Jenin, responsible for a series of attacks, including the attack at the Likud branch in Beit She'an where 6 Israelis were killed. He was also one of the terrorists who escaped from Gilboa Prison in 2021. Since he was not convicted of murder but other offenses, Zubeidi will not be deported abroad and is expected to be released back to the West Bank.
4. Abdullah Sharabati, Majdi Zaatari, and Samer Alatrash, members of the cell responsible for a series of attacks on bus lines 2 and 14 in Jerusalem in 2003, one of which killed 23 Israelis, including 7 children, and carried out the suicide bombing on line 6 in the French Hill where 7 Israelis were killed and 20 were injured. They planned a long series of additional attacks.
5. Mohammed Amoudi, who dispatched the suicide bomber for the attack at the "Mayor's Shawarma" stand in Tel Aviv in 2006, killing 11 people.
6. Mohammed Abu Warda, who sent the suicide bombers for the attacks on line 18 in Jerusalem in 1996, attacks in which 45 Israelis were killed. He is serving 48 life sentences in an Israeli prison.
7. Mahmoud Atallah, a life prisoner who murdered a Palestinian woman, and during his time in a security prison, was accused of raping a female guard as part of the pimping scandal in Gilboa Prison. He will not be deported but will be released to the West Bank.
8. Nour Jaber - A terrorist responsible for the murder of 16 Israelis: dispatched the suicide attacks on the worshipers' route in Hebron in 2002 where 12 Israelis were killed, including Brigade Commander Dror Weinberg, and the attack in Atzmona in 2002 where 4 Israelis were killed.
9. Sami Jaradat, one of the terrorists responsible for the attack at Maxim Restaurant in Haifa in 2003, where 21 Israelis were killed.
10. Ali Sufuri, a senior Islamic Jihad terrorist responsible for the murder of 9 Israelis and the injury of more than 100 in a series of attacks: the car bomb explosion at the central station in Hadera where 45 Israelis were injured, the shooting attack at the market in Hadera where 4 Israelis were killed, the suicide bombing at the Check Post junction where 29 civilians were injured, and many more attacks.
11. Omar Al-Zaben, one of the leaders of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, responsible for a long series of attacks in which 27 Israelis were killed, sentenced to 27 life terms in prison.
12. Ramadan Mashahra - One of the terrorists involved in the suicide bombing in the Gilo neighborhood in Jerusalem in 2002, where 19 Israelis were killed.
13. Shadi Amouri, one of the planners of the car bomb attack at the Megiddo junction in 2002, where 17 were killed.
