Palestinian Israa Jaabis arrives home after her release from Israeli jail

Israa Jaabis, a Palestinian detainee, has been released from an Israeli jail after serving seven years of an 11-year sentence. Before her release, Israeli authorities imposed restrictions, including a ban on celebrations and the evacuation of journalists from her home. Jaabis, accused of planning a "terror" attack, denies the charge. She suffered severe burns in a car explosion in 2015. Her release is part of a prisoner swap deal between Israel and Hamas, with 39 Palestinians, including Jaabis, being exchanged for 24 Israelis and foreigners.
