TULKAREM (Ma'an) -- A recently-released prisoner said Israeli forces ransacked her home and threatened her on Thursday.

Duaa al-Jayousi told Ma'an Israeli troops raided her home in Tulkarem in the northern West Bank, searched her and told her she was "being watched." The soldiers warned her that she could return to prison, she added.

Al-Jayousi's mother witnessed the raid.

"It was brutal," she said, adding that she couldn't cope if her daughter was imprisoned again.

A prisoner affairs' center described the raid as "barbaric."

Al-Jayousi was released in October in a prisoner swap deal between Israel and Hamas. She had spent 10 years in an Israeli jail. She was sentenced to three life terms and 32 years.
