Channel 12 Hebrew: Abdullah Barghouti, 53 years old, is known as the “Hamas engineer.” An explosives expert, he was one of the leaders of the military wing in the West Bank. Barghouti is responsible for dozens of operations and attacks against Israelis, in which 66 people were killed and about 500 injured, including the attacks on the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem in 2001 and a café in 2002. Barghouti was arrested in March 2003 and sentenced to 67 life sentences, making him the longest-serving Palestinian prisoner in history. In 2009, Barghouti’s name was put forward as one of the candidates for release in the Shalit deal, but due to Israeli opposition, he was excluded from the deal signed in October 2011.
