Israel ‘trolls Hamas’ by AXING release of terrorist who raped prison guard…and will free inmate with same name instead ISRAEL has trolled Hamas by axing the release of a rapist and swapping him with a lesser-known convict of the same name in a last-minute hostage deal victory.
Mahmoud Atallah was also placed on Shin Bet's veto list to stop his future release - meaning he will now not be released as part of the hostage deal at all and will remain in solitary confinement.
But in a last-minute turnaround, Israeli trolled Hamas by rewriting part of the deal to replace his name on the list of convicts with another - Mahmoud Mohamed Atallah.
She added: "In the midst of the grave and dangerous event of the mass release of terrorists, we at least prevented the horror and profound disgrace of releasing a terrorist who not only murdered but also raped our daughters within the walls of the prison.
Mahmoud Atallah, a convicted murderer, raped a female prison guard and sexually assaulted several others ten years ago - all while behind bars.
