West Bank, 3 March – (PIC): Under the prisoner exchange agreement between Israel and Palestinian resistance, hundreds of Palestinian prisoners were released on Thursday, February 27. Among them were dozens of individuals who had been imprisoned in Israeli jails for many years.
One of these released prisoners is Al-Qassam Commander Ammar Al-Zaben, who belongs to the northern city of Nablus in the West Bank. He is not only a resistance leader but also a writer, novelist, and a true devotee of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Ammar was born in 1975 in Nablus. He is married and has four children: Bashar Al-Nasr, Bisan, Mohannad, and Salahuddin.
