In the aftermath of recent hostage deals, approximately 40 individuals previously released to Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem have either been re-arrested or killed, according to a report by Israel Hayom. These cases are part of a larger group of around 700 people freed to these areas, with authorities suggesting that the actual number of those who have resumed terrorist activities is likely higher.

The report highlights that many released individuals have not yet been apprehended, and the figures do not account for those sent to Gaza or exiled elsewhere. Security officials estimate that dozens more may have returned to terrorism, and the potential for further recidivism remains a significant concern.
