      Taysir Hayb Released from Prison


      Taysir Hayb, an Arab IDF sniper who was convicted of killing anti-Israel activist Tom Hurndall in 2003, was released from prison on Wednesday. A military committee decided to release Hayb after he served six and a half years out of his eight year sentence. Hurndall was a British member of the International Solidarity Movement, known as a leading organization in the fight to destroy Israel.
