Israeli Court Renew Jail Sentence of 2 Palestinians

Israel's Ofer military court on Monday decided to delay the trial of the Palestinian journalist Ali Dar Ali,34, until 4th September, and in the same day, Israeli occupation authorities renewed sentence of prisoner Naser Abu Khdeir for another six-month term.

This is the second time that the Israeli occupation authorities have extended Dar Ali's detention after he was kidnapped from his home last Wednesday.

The Israeli occupation forces at dawn Wednesday arrested Dar Ali, who works as a correspondent for Palestine TV channel, from his house in Burham village, northwest of Ramallah, over "incitement" on social media networks.

In another context, Ofer court on Sunday decided to renew the detention of the director of al-Quds TV channel in the West Bank, Alaa al-Rimawi, after the Israeli Intelligence Service objected to a court ruling to release him on bail.

There are over 20 Palestinian journalists languishing in Israeli lock-ups, some of whom are sentenced to years in jail while others are held without charge or trial.

Meanwhile,the Israeli occupation authorities on Monday renewed the administrative sentence of prisoner Naser Abu Khdeir for another six-month term, four days before the end of his 16-month sentence.

Abu Khdeir was slated to be released on Thursday from the Ramon desert jail. However, the Israeli prison authorities arbitrarily renewed his administration term, issued with neither charge nor trial.

Abu Khdeir had been arrested on 11 occasions by the Israeli occupation forces and spent a total of 16 years in Israeli dungeons.
