Ramallah - Ma'an - Safaa Barghouti, the daughter of prisoner Abdullah Barghouti, confirmed on Saturday that her father was severely beaten in the Israeli Shata prison and suffered several fractures in his rib cage, according to what was reported by Palestinian media. It is noteworthy that Israel considers the release of Abdullah Barghouti, the leader of the Qassam Brigades who is sentenced to 67 life sentences, in any potential prisoner deal, to be tantamount to the release of 'another Sinwar.' Abdullah Barghouti is the prisoner about whom the officer in charge of his file in the military court in Bethlehem said that if Israel was forced to leave the Palestinian territories for any reason, it would take him with it. He is considered one of the most dangerous Palestinian resistance fighters against the Israeli occupation; he revived the Qassam Brigades in 2000 after the assassination of its leader Yahya Ayyash in 1996. The reason for his sentence of 67 life sentences and 5,200 years in prison is that he was accused of carrying out 7 suicide operations in which 67 Israelis were killed and more than 500 others were injured. Abdullah Barghouti spent more than 20 years in Israeli prisons, as he was arrested by special forces in the city of Al-Bireh in the occupied West Bank on March 5, 2003. Source: Maan News Agency
