Israeli occupation forces yesterday recaptured freed Palestinian prisoner Randa Youssef Shahatit at a checkpoint near occupied Bethlehem.

The 29-year-old was taken to an unknown location, Quds Press reported.

Local sources said Shahatit had previously spent seven years in Israeli jails. The mother of three was on her way to visit her three-month-old baby in hospital when she was rearrested.

There are now 65 female Palestinian prisoners being held in Israeli jails.
