Palestinian prisoner whose story featured in film freed

[Collection]Perhaps the most wellknown name on the list of 39 Palestinian prisoners and detainees released from an Israeli jail early Sunday was Israa Jaabees, who was accused of attempted murder by Israel and had been in jail since 2015. She was arrested that year after her car exploded at a checkpoint near Jerusalem in the West Bank, leaving her disfigured and an Israeli police officer seriously injured. She claimed that it was an accidental fire, according to an account from Addameer, a prisoners’ rights organisation. The Israeli authorities said it had been an act of terrorism.
