Almagor Attempts to Prevent Terrorist Release

The Almagor organization for victims of terrorism has filed a last-minute petition with the Supreme Court against the planned release of 87 terrorists on Monday morning. While none of the terrorists committed murder, many attempted to do so, and the list of those slated to be released includes dozens committed of shooting at Israelis and planting bombs. According to Almagor, terrorists released in similar deals have gone on to commit well over 100 murders.

The judge on duty, Justice Miriam Naor, will decide what to do with the petition in the next hour. Naor could call an emergency nighttime hearing, order that the planned release be delayed until after a full hearing, or reject the petition.
