Israel's security establishment is debating how to deal with freed terrorists who may reoffend, with options including deporting them to Gaza, the West Bank, or abroad. The ability to monitor and prevent reoffending is a concern, as is the potential release of another high-profile terrorist like Yahya Sinwar. Previous deals have seen a significant number of released prisoners return to terrorism, with estimates ranging from 12% to 82%. The security establishment is divided on the effectiveness of deportation abroad, with some arguing that distance makes it harder for terrorists to engage in terrorism, while others believe it is more difficult to target them if they do reoffend. The security establishment is also considering targeted assassinations as a response to reoffending, although this is a complex and politically sensitive option.
