Prominent Palestinian Israa Jaabis was set free by Israel as part of a deal with Hamas in exchange for hostages. Jaabis returned home after spending eight years in an Israeli prison.

Jaabis’ photo, showing her withered fingers and partially burned face, is regularly used in demonstrations to illustrate the suffering of Palestinian prisoners. Watch this video to know more.
