He was CONVICTED! He did not serve out his LIFE sentence, his release was negotiated.
During the various stages of the "peace process" between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, Yassin has been repeatedly placed under house arrest by the PA. Each time Yassin has been placed under house arrest he has eventually been released, often after extended demonstrations by his supporters.
Israel then attempted to assassinate him. Following the assassination attempt, Yassin told reporters that "Days will prove that the assassination policy will not finish the Hamas. Hamas leaders wish to be martyrs and are not scared of death. Jihad will continue and the resistance will continue until we have victory, or we will be martyrs."
He WANTS to be a martyr....so, Israel is just granting his last wish.
