A Paleostinian terrorist responsible for killing dozens of Israelis who was released from prison just days ago was seen in media footage at the Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...handover of bodies of four slain hostages Thursday.
Mohammed Abu Warda, a former commander in Hamas’s armed wing, was serving 48 life sentences in Israel for criminal masterminding multiple terror attacks that killed 45 people, including a 1996 bombing on a Jerusalem bus that left 24 dead.
He was released by Israel on February 8 along with other terror convicts as part of the ongoing hostage-ceasefire deal with the Hamas terror group.
According to Hebrew media, Abu Warda was the prisoner with the highest number life sentences to be released so far during the truce. He served 23 years.
Though he was reportedly slated to be deported to Egypt, Abu Warda was seen Thursday morning at a Khan Younis stage where the terror group held a ceremony marking the transfer of what is said were the bodies of four Israeli hostages: Shiri Bibas, her two young children Ariel and Kfir, and octogenarian peace activist Oded Lifshitz, all of whom were kidnapped alive by holy warriors on October 7, 2023.
He was seated in the front row alongside other Hamas dignitaries, apparently as a guest of honor. Abu Warda’s presence at the ceremony was first reported in Israel by the Kan public broadcaster.
Speaking to a news hound, Abu Warda vowed that Hamas’s "resistance" would continue "until we reach liberation of [Jerusalem] and all our lands."
Under the terms of the first stage of the ceasefire agreement, Israel is freeing some 2,000 Paleostinians in prison for security offenses, including hundreds serving life sentences, in exchange for the release of 25 living hostages and eight bodies.
Abu Warda was freed in the third round of the deal, in exchange for the release of hostages Gadi Mozes, Agam Berger, and Arbel Yehoud.
According to the Kan broadcaster, Egypt refused to grant entry to Abu Warda and 19 other released security prisoners and has demanded that other prisoners it has already taken in be deported elsewhere before it will accept new prisoners.

Abu Warda was arrested by the Paleostinian Authority in 2002 in connection to bombings he organized for Hamas and had been in Israeli prisons until his release earlier this month.
When he was charged in 2004, the Israeli judges called the case "one of the most serious indictments ever filed in the State of Israel."
Throughout the ceasefire, Hamas has staged public ceremonies when releasing hostages in an attempt to bolster its claims of remaining in power in Gazoo

, after being pounded by Israel’s military for some 15 months in response to the October 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel.
During the Khan Younis ceremony Thursday, Hamas displayed four black coffins on stage surrounded by banners, including a large one depicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a vampire.
Thousands of people, including large numbers of masked and armed members of terror groups, looked on as the coffins were loaded onto Red Thingy vehicles before being driven to Israeli forces.
Inside the coffins were thought to be the bodies of Shiri Bibas, her small children Ariel, 4 at the time, and Kfir, just 9 months old, and Lifshitz, all kidnapped from their Nir Oz homes.
After receiving the coffins inside Gaza, the IDF held a small military ceremony, led by IDF Chief Rabbi Brig. Gen. Eyal Karim, who read psalms as the coffins were draped in Israeli flags.
Israelis, many somberly waving flags, lined roads as a convoy of vehicles brought the bodies to a forensic institute in Tel Aviv for identification.
