Palestinian youngster set to be released

Yesterday, 17-year-old Mohammad dar-Darwish got a haircut as the first thing he did.

After seven months in an Israeli jail, it was important for him to remember who he was.

Israel let the Palestinian teenager go, along with 38 other women and kids, in exchange for Israeli hostages that Hamas had.

Dar-Darwish was found guilty by a military court for throwing Molotov cocktails at Israeli soldiers in April. He says he didn’t do it.

On the day he was released from prison, he was told by Israeli prison guards that he was being taken to court.

He said he was very happy when he arrived back in the West Bank and found his father and brother waiting to greet the prisoners.

After the attacks on 7 October, Mohammad said that the guards took away the blankets, cooking stuff, radios, and TVs of the Palestinian prisoners.

“We only got a little bit of food for all of us, so we were always hungry. ” “They couldn’t reach Gaza, so they hurt us. ”

He said that the only way he knew about the war in Gaza was from people who just came to the prison until he was set free.

He said that people who came to jail had new injuries like broken teeth, a hand with a lot of bruises, and a big cut on their head that was not taken care of.

Israel’s prisons follow the law when detaining prisoners. They also have the right to complain if they want to.

I asked Mohammad what he thinks about the Israeli people who were taken by Hamas and used to get him free.

Is he caring or understanding towards them.

“They were staying with Hamas like guests in heaven,” he said, “while we were in prison, suffering every day in hell. “
