Love across the West Bank, through correspondence

A terror operative serving a 147 year term in an Israeli prison is set to marry a fellow prisoner through correspondence.

A Hizbullah operative, serving a term of 147 years in an Israeli prison, is set to marry a former prisoner by exchanging correspondence with her, a media report in Jerusalem said.

Samir Kuntar, serving four consecutive life terms and an additional 47 years in jail, will tie the knot with Fadah Said Abdullah of Kfar Akeb village near Jerusalem within a few weeks, in a process to be officiated by their attorneys.

The Hizbullah operative has been convicted for infiltrating the northern Israeli city of Nahariya in 1979, taking a family hostage and killing the patriarch and his four year old daughter, Israeli daily Yediot Ahronoth reported.

Said Abdullah, on the other hand was sentenced to three years in prison after she was convicted on charges of relaying messages between Fatah and Hizbullah and conspiracy to commit murder.

She was released from prison 18 months ago. The Israel Prison Service (IPS) however, told the daily that neither party had filed a formal request to perform any ceremony in prison.

Kuntar was earlier married to a resident of east Jerusalem, but the couple divorced after his requests for conjugal visits were repeatedly denied by the IPS, it said.
