JERUSALEM, April 10 -- Israel released Ahmad Manasra on Thursday, a Palestinian who was involved in an attack at 13 and later developed schizophrenia during his prison term.

Despite multiple requests for early release, they were denied.

Israel considers Manasra a terrorist for attempting to kill Jewish peers, while Palestinians argue that his harsh detention at such a young age caused long-term mental health issues.

Manasra's lawyer, Khaled Zabarqa, confirmed his release after serving a sentence of nine and a half years.
