Saleh [Abu Mukh], a resident of Baqa Al-Gharbiya that is in the occupied Interior (i.e., Palestinian term for Israel), sat in the occupation’s prison for 35 years. He was released this April [2021].

Rushdi Abu Mukh - Israeli Arab terrorist who was part of the terror cell that kidnapped and murdered Israeli soldier Moshe Tamam in August 1984. The cell - which included Abu Mukh's brother Ibrahim Abu Mukh, Walid Daqqa, and Ibrahim Bayadseh - was apprehended in 1986 and its members were sentenced to life, but Israeli President Shimon Peres reduced their sentences in 2012 to terms of 35 to 45 years. Abu Mukh was released on April 5, 2021, at the end of his reduced 35-year sentence.
