@translating_falasteen: "I was imprisoned as a child," says Palestinian captive Iyad Ibrahim Hassan Jaradat. Born on May 28, 1984, in the town of Silat al-Harithiya, Jenin, Jaradat was arrested on May 11, 2003, at the age of 18 after Israeli forces besieged a house he had taken shelter in. He was sentenced to life in prison plus 50 years for his participation in the Battle of Jenin in 2002. During his captivity, Jaradat played a key role in the 2021 Gilboa Prison escape, known as the “Freedom Tunnel,” spending nine months digging the tunnel. After the plan was discovered, he was placed in solitary confinement for four years and subjected to repeated mistreatment. After spending 22 years in Israeli prisons, Iyad Jaradat was released in January 2025. Source: shathahanaysha (IG)
