The first terrorists to be released in the exchange deal for Gilad Shalit – six Arab citizens of Israeli - will be released on Tuesday morning from the Megiddo Prison to their families, where they will be brought Monday night. The Arabs are all residents of villages and towns in northern Israel, including Um el-Faham and Ar'ara. All will be allowed to remain in their homes.
Israel Radio said that the families will quietly collect the terrorists without fanfare, in protest over an additional three terrorists that will remain in prison.
