The family of Zina Barber, a 24-year-old Palestinian woman held in a jail for more than a year, were preparing for her to be released as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal when a group of Israeli policemen came to their door late on Saturday.

“They raided our house, and seized flags and symbols associated with Palestine,” said her mother, Amal.
