This past week, Israel released some 150 terrorists back into Israel, in exchange for Hamas releasing only some of the Israeli women and children that have been holding as hostages in Gaza since the October 7 massacre.
The terrorists in today’s attack were two brothers from the neighborhood Tzur Bacher in Jerusalem. They had previously spent time in jail for planning terror attacks on behalf of Gazan terror organizations.
