Zakaria al-Zubaidi, a prominent Palestinian figure, was among the group of detainees released by Israel on Thursday. Al-Zubaidi, a key player in the Palestinian uprising of 2000, also known as the Second Intifada, was seen on a bus transporting the released prisoners from Israel’s Ofer prison in the occupied West Bank.
Al-Zubaidi held the position of commander of the Jenin branch of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the militant arm of the Palestinian political party Fatah. His involvement in the uprising made him a long-standing target on Israel’s list of most wanted individuals, leading to his arrest in 2019.
