Distraught families who lost loved ones to terrorists that will now be freed from Israeli prisons have said ‘no other country would pay such a price for peace’.

Relatives of those whose lives were so cruelly cut short have spoken of their ‘outrage’ and ‘betrayal’ at the terms of the peace deal with Hamas.

Israel will release 250 of the worst extremists serving life along with 1,700 Palestinians captured since the October 7 attack – in exchange for 48 hostages.

It means there will be just 20 terrorists left in the country serving life sentences.

‘Of course I have anger,’ Oren Hubara, 42, told the Mail after learning that the leader of a terror group that killed his sister, Odelia, 26, and four others in a nightclub in 2005 will be freed.

‘This is a price that no other country in the world is willing to pay for peace,’ he said from his home in Jerusalem.

But, through his anger, he accepted there may be no alternative to bring the bloodshed to an end.

He said: ‘The moment I heard that people had been kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, I was willing to pay this price for their families.

Oren Hubara, 42, told the Mail  he feels anger after learning the leader of a terror group that killed his sister, Odelia, 26, and four others in a nightclub in 2005, will be freed

‘If this is a present for them, from my sister and from me, then that is some comfort to me. I only wish their families quiet and I know if Odelia is looking down, it would make her happy.’

Odelia was celebrating a friend’s birthday at Stage Club in Tel Aviv when a suicide bomber – part of a terror group led by Iyad Abul al-Rub – detonated his device.

She was on life support for two days but could not be saved and died from brain injuries and collapsed lungs. Abul al-Rub is among those who will be freed.

‘When I heard it brought everything back,’ says Oren who is being supported by the One Family group.

‘It was two days of hell sitting next to her. All her injuries were internal, there was barely a scratch on her – just one cut near her eyebrow.

‘She looked so quiet and so beautiful, we thought she was going to make it. Then the doctor said he wanted to speak to us, and we all knew what he was going to say.

‘It was the middle of the night. I was crushed, I couldn’t stop crying – my whole life changed in that moment. I still miss her every day.’

Odelia was due to move to America with her boyfriend two days after the attack and they only learnt after she died that he had bought a ring to propose to her.

‘He was in our home, just crying and screaming. I felt more sorry for him than I did for myself. He was so close to his new life, and now it was gone.’

Of his parents, Dalia and Shimon, both 73, having to bury their daughter, the father of three said: ‘I don’t think there are words that can describe this pain. Still my dad can barely speak about it.

‘There are memories of her everywhere. Every time I look at my kids I think of how life would have been – if she had children, what they would have been like, how our children would have played.’

There is only one terrorist linked to his sister’s death who remains in jail after previous deals and the mastermind was freed in an exchange just months before the Stage Club bombing.

‘It feels like we are in a never-ending heartbreaking loop,’ Oren said.

British-Israeli Tal Hartuv, 59, was hiking with guide Kristine Luken in the Judean Hills in 2010 when they were ambushed and tied up by Iyad Fatafita.

Ms Hartuv was stabbed 18 times while Kristine was killed.

On learning Fatafita will be released, Ms Hartuv told the Mail: ‘When I saw my attacker’s name on the release list, I felt betrayed.

‘Can you imagine the British government ever agreeing to release those who killed Lee Rigby or the Manchester arena bombing? It’s absolutely unbelievable.

‘This is a miscarriage of justice, an outrage, hidden in the small print of the hostage deal.’

Ms Hartuv had to play dead before walking barefoot, covered in blood.

‘My recovery took years – thirty broken bones, a collapsed lung, crushed shoulder,’ she said.

Alon Mizrachi, 22, was among seven killed in a suicide bomb attack on the Cafe Hillel in Jerusalem in 2003.

Baher Mohammed Mahmoud Badr, in the Hamas cell responsible, will also be freed.

Alon’s sister, Sigi, 57, said: ‘I want to cry every moment I think that he will be freed.

‘I see all of Alon’s friends growing up and having families and I think he should be there.

‘But if this is the price to bring our soldiers and our hostages home, then that makes me happy,’

Other terrorists to be released include Ra’id Sheikh who took part in the lynching of two IDF reservists in the West Bank in 2000, Ibrahim Alkam who killed a mother and her 12-year-old son, and Mohammad Daoud, who murdered a pregnant mother and her five-year-old son with a Molotov cocktail.
