The image shows five terrorist prisoners with keffiyehs (Arab headdress) superimposed around their necks, a prison fence in the foreground, and a Palestinian flag in the background.
The three prisoners in the top row are from left to right: Fuad Al-Shubaki, a senior PLO official who tried to smuggle weapons; Abdallah Barghouti, a bomb-maker responsible for the murder of 67 people; and Ahmad Sa’adat, head of the PFLP terrorist organization.
The two prisoners in the bottom row are from left to right: Marwan Barghouti, a terrorist who orchestrated three shooting attacks in which 5 people were murdered; and Karim Younes, a terrorist who murdered 1 and was recently appointed to the Fatah Central Committee. See below for longer descriptions of the crimes of each of them.

The image appears in the May 2017 edition of the magazine of Fatah’s Information and Culture Commission in Lebanon, Al-Quds, and was posted on the commission’s website Falestinona on May 31, 2017.
Hunger strike (April-May 2017) Palestinian terrorist prisoners launched a hunger strike on April 17, 2017, which ended on May 27, 2017, after an agreement was reached. While the prisoners had issued a list of demands, reportedly only the demand to have the Red Cross reinstate a second monthly family visit for prisoners was agreed to. Nevertheless, the PA has claimed the development as a victory.
