Sentences and arrests continue during Ramadan
The District Court issued prison sentences against two young men from the village of Issawiya, while arrests continued in Jerusalem during the month of Ramadan.
The Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Jerusalem reported that the court sentenced the Jerusalemite prisoner Mohammad Mamoun Mheisen to 12 and a half years in prison and Mohammad Khaldoun Mustafa to 33 months in prison.
On Monday, the forces arrested Yamen Abu Rammouz during a raid on the Shu’fat refugee camp.
They also arrested former prisoner Amjad Ghroof from the Hutta Gate area in the Old City of Jerusalem.
In the evening, forces arrested a number of Palestinian youths from the Shu’fat refugee camp who hold West Bank ID cards, on the grounds of entering Jerusalem "illegally."
The Israeli police said in a statement on Sunday that since the beginning of Ramadan, they have arrested 220 Palestinian youths holding West Bank ID cards in Jerusalem. Meanwhile, arrests continued in the village of Issawiya, under the pretext of "assaulting a settler who entered the town by mistake with his vehicle." Over the past few days, multiple arrests have been carried out from the village.
On Sunday, a hearing was held for several detainees from the village of Issawiya, and their detention was extended until Thursday. They are: Abdul Hadi Abu Zakham, Ali Alayan, Mohammad Abu Khaled, Mohammad Daas, Zain al-Din Abu al-Hummus, Majed Alayan, and Marwan Mustafa.
The judge ordered the release of the 13-year-old Jerusalemite girl, Tuqa Khalil Ghazzawi, on the condition that she be deported from her home and placed under house arrest in her grandfather's home in the al-Thori neighborhood in Silwan for two weeks, in addition to paying a bail of 3,000 shekels.
Ghazzawi was arrested last Thursday after leaving her school in the Old City and remained in detention for five days. She was charged with "incitement," allegedly for "writing slogans on a police vehicle and on her school books," according to a previous police statement.
On Sunday, the forces raided the Ghazzawi family home, arrested her father, and released him after several hours of interrogation. Meanwhile, the occupation authorities renewed the ban on the Jerusalemite journalist Basem Zidani from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque for three months.
