Hundreds of residents of the Arab village of A'ara in the north of Israel came to the center of the village to welcome the terrorist and killer, Maher Younes, who was released Thursday morning after serving a forty-year prison sentence. The police deployed large forces in the area to prevent larger celebrations that would turn into a show of incitement and support for terrorism.
In the early morning, without prior notice, Younes was transferred from Hadrim prison, where he had been in the last few years, to Eshel prison in Beer Sheva. The purpose of the transfer was to prevent his family members from coming to greet him on his way out of prison and accompany him in a convoy to his home in A'ara in the north.
This morning, the terrorist Maher Younes, one of the murderers of the Israeli soldier Avraham Bromberg, was released from Israeli prison after 40 years of imprisonment.

Despite this, Younes managed to inform his family members about the release. An organization called the "Committee for the Prisoner" which supports the Palestinian terrorists who are in prison for murdering Israelis said that two guards entered the cell where Younes was sitting and rushed to get him out of there quickly without even saying goodbye to his cellmates.
As soon as Younes was released, preparations began at his home for the reception and representatives who were meant to express support such as waving Palestinian flags on the roads or balloons with PLO flags. Two weeks ago, Younes' cousin, Karim, who was his partner in the same attack in 1980 in which the soldier Avraham Bromberg was murdered, was released. Karim's release became a multi-participant celebration for several days, thousands came to pay their respects to him, including heads of authorities, representatives of the Palestinian Authority, sheiks, and school students.

After the release of Karim, the Minister of National Security, Ben Gvir, reprimanded the police for not preventing the inciting gatherings. After the relatively quiet release of Maher, Minister Ben Gvir announced that he instructed the police to act decisively and resolutely against phenomena of support for terrorism, according to him, he will closely follow the developments.
"The police did not allow the establishment of tents supporting terrorism, the waving of PLO and Fatah flags in the streets, neither the presentation of martyrs nor the gathering of support for terrorism. I hope that the police will continue to control the event and the terrorist will only receive hugs inside the house until we pass a law that will allow him to be sent to Syria."
