(Ynet News) Yoram Schweitzer - Female terrorist Amana Muna from Fatah was the mastermind behind the murder of Israeli teenager Ofir Rahum. As part of a project I conducted in Israeli prisons, I held lengthy conversations with her. It isn't only Israelis who view her as a monster. Her fellow inmates also think she is. She controlled the prisoners in her ward with an iron fist. Several inmates who refused to obey her orders suffered heavy punishments. Some were bitten by her while others suffered serious burns because they dared challenge her leadership. Hamas even vowed to "sort things out" with her upon her release. According to the prisoner swap deal, Muna will be deported to Hamas-controlled Gaza where she may initially be received as a hero. But she obviously won't enjoy much comfort in light of her abusive methods in prison. The writer is head of a terrorism project at the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University.
