JERUSALEM, Thursday, February 04, 2021 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation authorities today re-detained a Palestinian man immediately following his release after serving his 7-year prison term he spent for resisting the Israeli occupation, according to local sources.

They told WAFA that Mohammad Kamal Obeid, 25, from Isawiyya neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem, was leaving Naqab prison in the south of Israel after completing his prison term when he was re-detained and taken to the Russian Compound police station in West Jerusalem.

Obeid’s family, which was waiting for him outside the Naqab prison, was not able to see him.

The sources said Israel often does this to prisoners from East Jerusalem in order to delay or prevent their families and neighborhood from celebrating their release from prison and to welcome them as heroes.
