Fakhri Barghouti winced in pain as an ecstatic crowd lifted him onto their shoulders alongside his son Shadi, who was freed from an Israeli prison on Saturday as part of a Gaza ceasefire agreement.

The night before, Israeli forces stormed his family home in the occupied West Bank village of Kobar, warning him not to celebrate his son’s release and assaulting him, he said.

“They entered after midnight, smashed everything, took me into a side room and beat me before leaving,” Barghouti told AFP. “I was taken to the hospital, where they found that I had a broken rib.”
