Two Prisoners from Gaza Strip, Released
GAZA, (PIC)-- Israeli forces released Sunday two prisoners from Gaza strip after serving eight years behind Israeli bars.
Maher Akkad and Ahmed Laham, from Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, were released at Eriz crossing near Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip where their families and friends were waiting for them.
The two prisoners were arrested in 2005 for resisting the occupation where they were sentenced to eight years.
Meanwhile, the occupation authorities have released Sunday Fayez Mahmoud Abdel Jadallah Halaiqa, 33, from al-Khalil.
Halaiqa was detained in August 2005 for being affiliated with Hamas's military-wing, the Qassam Brigades. He was released from Negev prison after spending eight years in custody.
