IDF squashes parties celebrating return of Palestinian prisoners in West Bank, including at one freed man's home: report
By Katherine DonlevyThe IDF is shutting down parties and parades in the West Bank celebrating the release of Palestinian prisoners, The Times of Israel reported.
Troops have already cleared out a marquee in the village of al-Mughayyir that was planning a celebration, as well as seized Hamas flags in Bayt Liqya.
The IDF also broke up a parade in Kafr ‘Aqab in East Jerusalem.
One such squashed party was held at the home of a released prisoner, a source told the outlet.
The IDF and Shin Bet, the Israeli intelligence agency, reportedly warned the prisoners' families they were prohibited from any celebrations — and that troops would visit their homes to prevent any activities.
