Terrorist who killed Israeli minister reportedly fathers twins using sperm smuggled from prison

Palestinian prisoner Basel Al-Asmar, serving a life sentence for the 2001 murder of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze'evi, has reportedly fathered twins via sperm smuggled from Nafha Prison. His wife, Sanabel Al-Ra'i, announced the birth of a boy and a girl in Qalqilya, a process that allegedly took multiple attempts over two years. The Israel Prison Service (IPS) stated there is no scientific verification for the report and that such smuggling has been impossible since before October 7, 2023, and the new Commissioner's policy of "no contact between prisoners and the outside world." This incident follows a trend of over 100 children reportedly fathered by Palestinian prisoners through similar means since 2012.
