Israel tactfully refers to many prisoners released in prisoner exchange deals as “security prisoners”, perhaps to soften the impact of the price paid for the return of captive soldiers, bodies, or in this case, information.
Six of the 20 “security prisoners” being released on Friday (Oct. 2nd) in exchange for the Gilad Shalit video were apprehended on their way to a suicide bombing attack, ruthless terrorists committed to murdering Jews, even willing to pay with their own lives. Three of them were planning attacks in Yerushalayim, and others in the center of the country. With the exception of one, who is being released with her infant, who was born in prison, the others live in PA (Palestinian Authority) autonomous areas throughout Yehuda and Shomron.
Fatmah Yunis Hassan Zak, 39, lives in Gaza. She was arrested in May 2007 at Erez Crossing from Gaza as she was making her way to take part in a double suicide bombing attack, in Tel Aviv and Netanya. She was permitted to cross from Gaza after receiving a special humanitarian permit, to tend to medical issues. She was to make her way to Ramallah, where she would receive the bomb belt that she was going to strap to her body. She already made her video, her living will, under the auspices of the Islamic Jihad. The video was to have been aired following her murderous attack. Fatmah has nine children and one grandchild. During the years preceding her arrest, she was responsible for the Islamic Jihad’s office assisting women in finding work in Gaza.
She was active as a liaison between women volunteering to become bombers and commanders in the terrorist organization, and played an active role in assisting in anti-Israel terrorism. She was recently found guilty of attempted murder by the Beersheva District Court, and as recently as two days ago; a plea bargain was being worked out regarding her sentence. It now appears the deal will not be necessary for she is slated for release together with her 20-month-old son Yousef.

Amazing. Why can’t they instead give information that she’s alive?
If the Israelis wouldn’t have been so forthcoming until now then perhaps deals would have been more even.
Sooner or later she will try to kill Jews in some country or other.
That’s a woman in that picture?
Scary…
I have no clue what Israel is thinking but maybe s/o could tell me how this monster was allowed and given the opportunity to create a monster in prison?? Is she in a prison or a motel? I have no doubt that this baby monster will be a icon and we will suffer!!
I am disgusted everytime like the 1st time when I hear about a mother with children (young children in this case) bombing herself and leaving all of them behind. What in the world are these people made of?
So if the men are promised 72 virgins, what are the women promised?
I’m afarid that EY will soon qualify to be included in the ma’amr chazal “shoteh osur l’rachaim olov”?
I don’t understand, I of course want gilad to be released but these Suicide Bomber’s aren’t going to become receptionist’s or teachers when they get released thier going to go right back to killing the jews so is this a smart move, we are risking the chance of many more jews dying?
One would hope this action would yield and good result. On the other hand, heaven forbid, the arab animals will keep using the Gilad Shalit issue in this way and not want to resolve this matter to the satisfaction of the Jews and Israel. Is there no intelligence information that would lead to a successful military solution to free Gilad Shalit?
no good will come out of this female or male murderers are still murderers out to kill jews what a shame to our people to let a murder out male or female
Wait so does this mean she was pregnant with the child when she attempted the suicide bombing????
