Officials Warn Against Release of Terrorists -Yaakov Katz
As Israel's leaders discussed a proposed prisoner swap for captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, senior defense officials said that a mass release of security prisoners to the West Bank would give Hamas a substantial boost and create
major operational challenges and danger for the State of Israel.
A report published last year by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs reported that out of the more than 10,000 Palestinian prisoners released by Israel since 1985, over 50% have returned to the path of terror. "In the terror acts committed by these freed terrorists, hundreds of Israelis were murdered, and thousands were wounded," the report said.
For example, those freed in the Tannenbaum deal (in 2004) have since been responsible for the murder of at least of 35 Israelis.
