Israeli occupation forces released Karim Younis, 66, the dean of Palestinian and Arab prisoners and member of the Central Committee of Fatah after serving four decades inside the Israeli occupation prisons.

Occupation forces deliberately liberated Younis at dawn and left him alone in the town of Ra'anana near Tel Aviv, without informing his family in an attempt to divert their joy and sabotage his reception. They also broke into his house at night and seized Palestinian flags, preventing his family from exercising any manifestations to celebrate his liberation.
