Three years after he was kidnapped by Israeli troops in Sielet Al Harithiyya village, near the northern West Bank city of Jenin, Sheikh Hani Jaradat, one of the political leaders of the Islamic Jihad was released on Friday.
Jaradat was not sentenced but was imprisoned under administrative detention orders as the Israeli authorities kept renewing these orders without pressing any charges.
Jaradat was received in his hometown by hundreds of residents, and his family members, in addition to leaders and representatives of several factions.
He was repeatedly arrested by the Israeli army and spent a total of ten accumulative years behind bars.
