Palestinian Prisoner Isra Gabas Release in a Prisoner Hostage Exchange

Isra Gabas, who was known as the suicide bomber, finally arrived home after spending eight years from 2015 to 2023 in an Israeli prison. The release is the hostage exchange between the Hamas and the Israeli government.

How was Isra Gabas involved in the detonation of the car bomb?

On 11 October 2015, Isra Gabas was on her route to her home in Jerusalem when her car exploded due to a gas cylinder, resulting in the car being engulfed in fire. Isra suffered a third-degree burn, with 60% of her body, including her face and hands, greatly affected by the explosion.

Israeli authorities claimed that she detonated a car bomb, due to which she caused severe injuries to herself and police officer Moshe Chen. Israel police authority further claimed that Isra had targeted the detonated gas tank near the soldier’s hitchhiking station. According to the Israeli security agency, Shin Bet, she shouted ” Allah o Akbar” before firing the bomb explosion, and they found a note from Isra Gabas that depicted her support for the martyrs, resulting in a conflicting statement about her intention for the incident.

The Israeli officer Moshe Chen was praised even though he sustained injuries in an explosion; however, Isra Gabas was shifted to the hospital in Jerusalem due to a third-degree burn on her entire body.

Isra Gaba’s lawyer stated that her objective might have been ‘suicide by a cop,’ but it was not a politically motivated attack. Her family and some media outlets, including Al Arabia, claimed that the fire was due to a fault in her vehicle, and her car exploded due to an engine failure that ignited the butane tanks that she was transporting in her car for personal use. She was unable to flee from the vehicle due to the restrictions.

Isra Gabas had requested the Israeli government for facial surgery to reconstruct her face during her prison days, but the Israeli authorities denied the request.

Isra Gabas was among the 39 Palestinian women and children who were scheduled to be released from the Israeli prison in a second batch of hostage exchange deals between the Israeli government and Hamas.
