JERUSALEM POST STAFF DECEMBER 2, 2023 11:55

Libya on Friday released four terrorists belonging to the Palestinian terror group Hamas at the request and mediation of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, local media reported.

The four terrorists, detained in Libya since 2016, were imprisoned after being found guilty of trafficking arms to the Gaza Strip, as per the reports.

The four were named Nasib Choubeir, Mouayad Abed, Marwan Al-Ashqar, and his son Baraa Al-Ashqar. They were released from the Mitiga detention center, located at a Libyan airbase east of the capital Tripoli, at the order of the Libyan prosecutor’s office.

Following the four’s release, they reportedly took off to Turkey ahead of reaching their destination of Qatar, which hosts Hamas officials on its soil.
