jailA female terrorist who was released in the Shalit deal in the fall and was recaptured in February, agreed to end a 43-day-old hunger strike on Thursday, after Israel agreed to release her.

Hana Shalbi, a terrorist from the Islamic Jihad organization, was arrested by an IDF force at her home in the village of Burkin, west of Jenin, after Israel gathered” completely certain” intelligence information regarding her intent to return to terrorist activity.

Shalbi was originally arrested for terrorist activity in 2010. She refused to cooperate with interrogators and was violent towards them. This violence included threatening their lives, trying to attack one of them, spitting at police officers, and even biting a policewoman.

Even though there was not enough evidence to criminally prosecute Shalbi, she was taken to administrative detention for six months because of the very reliable intelligence information that had been gathered and which tied her to terrorist activities. The arrest was upheld in all the courts, including the Supreme Court. Her administrative detention was extended several times and she was held for two years until her release as part of the Shalit deal.

As part of the agreement for her release on Thursday, Shalbi agreed to be deported to Gaza for a period of three years. After that time she will be allowed to return to Judea and Samaria.

Shalbi is one of several PA terrorists in Israeli prisons who are hunger striking in an attempt to force the Prison Service to release them. Several self-described human rights organizations have called on Israel to consider releasing these terrorists.

Another terrorist, Khader Adnan, had gone a on a hunger strike for 66 days to pressure the State to release him. The hunger strike resulted in Adnan being admitted to hospital.

He launched the hunger strike to protest his administrative detention and the strike became a cause célèbre for anti-Israel activists and Arab propaganda organizations. His attorney appealed his administrative detention order to Israel’s Supreme Court.

The State later caved in to the pressure and agreed not to renew Adnan’s administrative detention order. He, in turn, agreed to end his hunger strike and will be released on April 17.

  1. A bum who walked up to a Jewish mother on the street and said, “Lady, I haven’t eaten in three days.” “Force yourself,” she replied.

  2. FOOLS! Now you can be a terrorist and be released after caught, as long as your willing to go on a hunger strike for a month or two. That’s the price for trying to kill a Jew.

  3. Sounds strange. Why release her and not feed her intravenously. Seems like too easy a way to release all the terrorists.

  4. I think they should just give them food through IV. Freeing terrorists in such a way will encourage more terrorisim. its no wonder the Arabs claim that the Israelis have no claim to the land of Israel, you show it yourself Israelis, by not sticking up for your rights ever. The world walks over Israel because of this attitude of insecurity. Any level headed person knows, if you push a person around and they respond by trying to apologise for their existence, you just do it more, and this only encourages worse behaviour. Truth is, how could not expect secular Israelis to know why they have more of a right to Israel then the Palestinians? After all the Palestinians arrived here also a few generations ago, so what’s the difference? As Frum people we know from the first Rashi in Breishis, how Hashem gave us the land on condition of our commitment to his Torah. but if this is breached, what do these secular Israelis have to argue in their favour? And they try to draft the Frum into the army, but for what, for who? The secular Israelis don’t even know why they have more rights then the Arabs, so what is their argument? why are they sitting in E.Y.?
