Meanwhile, municipal crews, accompanied by forces, stormed the Ein al-Lozeh neighborhood in Silwan.

The court issued an actual prison sentence against the young man, Mustafa Ghroof, for a period of 8 months, and a fine of 1,800 shekels.

The intelligence summoned the father of the Jerusalemite prisoner, Mohammad Aweida - who is scheduled to be released on Thursday- after his administrative detention for 6 months, and stipulated that he is deported from Jerusalem for 3 days, and that his father would not come to the prison to take his son, as the intelligence will transfer him to a police station in Jerusalem.

The Jerusalemite prisoner, Mohammad Khader Abu al-Hawa, was released after the end of his 10-month sentence. He was summoned for investigation immediately after his release, and deported from Jerusalem for 5 days.
