Shalada suffered from chronic infections in his lungs, his brother-in-law Tal’at Shalalda said, and released four and a half years early as his health condition deteriorated. He was detained on 9 August 1990 alongside his cousins Jamil and Ibrahim, who were all charged with participation in a bomb plot that lead to the death of two.
Jamil and Ibrahim were sentenced to 20 years each, but were released in 1995 under the conditions of the Oslo agreement.
Tal'at said Ali arrived home to his family in Jerusalem's Wadi Al-Joz neighborhood in the afternoon, and would travel to his family home near Hebron on Wednesday.
Ali returns to his two wives and 14 children.
