Palestinian dad awaits daughter's release: 'I'm looking forward to hugging her again'
Dania Hanatsheh's name is on a list of 30 Palestinian women, girls and teenage boys expected to be released Wednesday as part of another exchange of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
The family said Hanatsheh, 21, was arrested on Nov. 21 when Israeli soldiers raided their home in the West Bank.

The Israeli Justice Department said Hantsheh is accused of "supporting terrorism."
Hantsheh's father, Saqer, believes his daughter was arrested because of her social media posts.
"I am proud of my daughter," he told ABC News. "When she posted asking people to stand with Gaza, I support her with that because it's her right to do that."
He said he's looking forward to "hugging my daughter again."
But his happiness is tinged with sadness for the suffering in Gaza.
"The prisoners are getting released, but the price of this is the blood of women and kids in Gaza," he said.
