Eliyahu Libman tells The Times that he is"praying for the day we can kill them." "To prevent them from striking again."

Libman, who himself lives as a settler in the West Bank, says he has two strong views on the deal that will free 2,000 Palestinians."Of course, I'm delighted that the Israeli hostages are being released." But he believes releasing some 250 people serving life sentences poses too great a risk to his country.

Brother was murdered by Palestinians in 2011

The agreement brings back many memories for Libman. His brother, Shlomo, was murdered in 2011 by Palestinians who had previously been released in a prisoner exchange."After that, my son Elyakim, who was named after my murdered brother, was murdered by the same people."

Elyakim was a security guard at the Nova festival when he was attacked and killed. He had previously helped several festivalgoers to safety.

"This will create a never-ending cycle of events," Libman warns."This sends a message to all the Arabs who want to destroy us that if you kill someone, you'll be released anyway."

Among the two thousand Palestinian prisoners being released, including women and children, are 250 serving life sentences with blood on their hands. One of them, reportedly, is one of the perpetrators of a lynching in Ramallah in 2000, where two Israeli reservists were slaughtered. Terrorists from Islamic Jihad and the radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), as well as members of Hamas, are also being released.
