On  Wednesday evening, 21 April 2010, Israeli authorities deported Ahmed Said Sabbah, 38, who lives in Thanaba village east of Tulkam district in the West Bank, to the Gaza Strip.
IOF had arrested Sabbah on 1 November 2001 and sentenced him to nine years in prison.
On 21 April 2010, the IOF released Sabbah at Erez crossing in the north of Gaza.
Sabbah had served a full imprisonment sentence, but was not released in the West Bank.
Minutes before he went on the bus to go home from prison, the Israeli Prison Administration informed him that he was going to be deported to Gaza, and that if he refused he had to sign a document allowing for IOF punitive measures against him; including extending his detention for another six months.
Sabbah holds an ID card that was issued in Gaza in 1994, when he came into Gaza with the Palestinian Authority’s police force.
He moved to the West Bank in 1995, is married and a father of a child.
His family were waiting for him on Al Thahriyeh Checkpoint in the West Bank when they knew he was deported.
