CNN — Hamas said the attackers behind a Jerusalem bus stop shooting that killed three people on Thursday were members of its military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades.

Seven people were also injured after the two attackers, identified by Hamas as two brothers, opened fire on a group of people in Jerusalem, authorities said.

The shooting in Jerusalem comes amid a truce between Israel and Hamas which has seen a pause in the fighting and the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

From Ynet:

The two terrorists who opened fire at the entrance to Jerusalem arrived in the same vehicle, and were neutralized by two soldiers and a civilian who were nearby. They were later identified as two brothers from Sur Baher in East Jerusalem - Ibrahim Nemer, 30, and Murad Nemer, 38. During a police search of the terrorists' vehicle, cartridges and a lot of ammunition were found.

According to Times of Israel, they were previously jailed for terrorism:

Murad was jailed from 2010 to 2020 for planning terror attacks under the direction of terror elements in the Gaza Strip, according to the Shin Bet.

Ibrahim was jailed in 2014 for undisclosed terror activity, the agency says.

why do they release terrorists...

From first principles, the goal of imprisonment is threefold:

  1. As punishment
  2. To protect society from the risk of recidivism
  3. To provide them with a stable environment to provide them with assistance aimed towards reducing recidivism.

Terrorists are motivated by ideology and without significant intervention are basically guaranteed to have 100% chance of repeating their acts.

I don't think keeping them in prison forever is a solution, but neither is sticking them in there for 10 years, clearly.
